The clinically meaningful cardiac troponin I (cTnI) threshold associated with the long-term prognosis in patients undergoing elective percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is still debated.
To assess the association between different thresholds for post-procedural cTnI and 5-year mortality.
The study included 4059 consecutive patients with normal baseline cTnI values who underwent elective PCI. The post-procedural cTnI level was measured at 8-48 h after PCI. The main study endpoints were 5-year all-cause mortality and cardiovascular mortality.
A cTnI ≥5 times the upper reference limit (URL) as defined by the fourth universal definition of myocardial infarction (4th UDMI), ≥35 times as defined by the Academic Research Consortium-2 criteria, and ≥70 times as defined by the Society for Cardiovascular Angiography and Interventions (SCAI [2014]) was identified in 33%, 6.6%, and 3.3% of patients, respectively. During 5 years of follow-up, the all-cause mortality rate was 3.4% (n = 132) and the cardiovascular mortality rate was 2.0% (n = 77). Both all-cause mortality and cardiovascular mortality increased with higher peak cTnI, and were independently predicted by a cTnI ≥70 times the URL (adjusted hazard ratio [HR] 2.45, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.20-5.02 and adjusted HR 3.17, 95% CI 1.31-7.67, respectively; reference, cTnI <1 × URL]. The SCAI (2014) threshold was significantly associated with 5-year cardiovascular mortality (adjusted HR 2.66, 95% CI 1.20-5.89; reference, cTnI, <70 × URL) and all-cause mortality (adjusted HR 2.23, 95% CI 1.16-4.30; reference, cTnI <70 × URL).
In patients with normal pre-procedural cTnI who underwent elective PCI, a post-procedural cTnI ≥70 times the URL independently predicted 5-year all-cause and cardiovascular mortality. Therefore, only the SCAI (2014) post-procedural cTnI threshold was independently associated with long-term mortality.
对于接受择期经皮冠状动脉介入治疗(PCI)的患者,与长期预后相关的具有临床意义的心肌肌钙蛋白I(cTnI)阈值仍存在争议。
评估PCI术后不同cTnI阈值与5年死亡率之间的关联。
该研究纳入了4059例基线cTnI值正常且接受择期PCI的连续患者。PCI术后8 - 48小时测量术后cTnI水平。主要研究终点为5年全因死亡率和心血管死亡率。
根据心肌梗死第四版通用定义(第4版UDMI)定义的cTnI≥正常上限(URL)的5倍、根据学术研究联盟 - 2标准定义的≥35倍以及根据心血管造影和介入学会(SCAI [2014])定义的≥70倍的患者分别占33%、6.6%和3.3%。在5年的随访期间,全因死亡率为3.4%(n = 132),心血管死亡率为2.0%(n = 77)。全因死亡率和心血管死亡率均随cTnI峰值升高而增加,且cTnI≥URL的70倍可独立预测这两种死亡率(调整后风险比[HR]分别为2.45,95%置信区间[CI] 1.20 - 5.02和调整后HR 3.17,95% CI 1.31 - 7.67;参照组,cTnI <1×URL)。SCAI(2014)阈值与5年心血管死亡率(调整后HR 2.66,95% CI 1.20 - 5.89;参照组,cTnI <70×URL)和全因死亡率(调整后HR 2.23,95% CI 1.16 - 4.30;参照组,cTnI <70×URL)显著相关。
在术前cTnI正常且接受择期PCI的患者中,术后cTnI≥URL的70倍可独立预测5年全因死亡率和心血管死亡率。因此,只有SCAI(2014)术后cTnI阈值与长期死亡率独立相关。
