A single high-sensitive cardiac troponin (hs-cTn) can be used to rule-out acute myocardial infarction (MI) in patients presenting >3 hours (3 h) after chest pain onset to the emergency department. This study aimed to investigate the safety of ruling-out MI in early presenters with chest pain ≤3 h using a single hs-cTnI at admission.
We prospectively enrolled patients presenting with chest pain suggestive of MI. Hs-cTnI (Siemens ADVIA Centaur TNIH, Limit of detection: 2.2 ng/L) was measured at admission. Two physicians adjudicated final diagnosis. A diagnostic cut-off value <3 ng/L was used to rule-out MI. Patients were classified as early (chest pain ≤3 h) or late presenters (>3 h).
We included 1370 patients with available admission hs-cTnI results: median (Q1-Q3) age 65 (52-74), female sex: 43%, previous MI: 22%. We confirmed MI in 118 (8.6%) patients. Overall, 470 (34%) patients were classified as early, 770 (56%) as late presenters, and 130 (9%) patients had unknown onset. When applying the diagnostic cut-off value, MI was correctly ruled-out at admission in 370 (27%) patients: 134 (29%) early presenters, 206 (27%) late presenters and 30 (23%) patients with unknown onset. This resulted in an overall negative predictive value of 100% (95% CI: 99.0-100%), with both 100% (97.3-100%) for early and 100% (98.2-100%) for late presenters, respectively. Sensitivity was similarly high in the two groups.
MI could be safely ruled-out in all patients presenting with chest pain ≤3 h when using a single hs-cTnI value <3 ng/L as diagnostic cut-off.

在胸痛发作后 3 小时(3 h)以上就诊急诊科的患者中,单次高敏肌钙蛋白(hs-cTn)可用于排除急性心肌梗死(MI)。本研究旨在探讨在胸痛发作≤3 h 的早期患者中,采用单次 hs-cTnI 入院时排除 MI 的安全性。
我们前瞻性纳入胸痛提示 MI 的患者。入院时测定 hs-cTnI(Siemens ADVIA Centaur TNIH,检测下限:2.2ng/L)。两名医师判定最终诊断。采用<3ng/L 的诊断截断值排除 MI。患者分为早期(胸痛≤3 h)和晚期(>3 h)。
我们纳入了 1370 例可获得入院 hs-cTnI 结果的患者:中位(Q1-Q3)年龄 65(52-74)岁,女性占 43%,既往有 MI 占 22%。我们共确诊 118 例(8.6%)MI 患者。总体而言,470 例(34%)患者为早期,770 例(56%)为晚期,130 例(9%)患者胸痛发作时间未知。应用诊断截断值时,134 例(29%)早期、206 例(27%)晚期和 30 例(23%)胸痛发作时间未知的患者入院时 MI 得到正确排除,总的阴性预测值为 100%(95%CI:99.0-100%),早期和晚期患者的阴性预测值分别为 100%(97.3-100%)和 100%(98.2-100%)。两组的敏感性均较高。
对于胸痛发作≤3 h 的所有患者,采用<3ng/L 的 hs-cTnI 作为诊断截断值,可安全排除 MI。
