Prognostic significance of Troponin I in patients undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention

Indian Heart J. 2021 Nov-Dec;73(6):737-739. doi: 10.1016/j.ihj.2021.09.004. Epub 2021 Sep 14.ABSTRACTThis observational study investigates the prognostic significance of troponin I in patients undergoing primary percutaneous intervention (pPCI). Sequential cardiac biomarker sampling of the enrolled patients (n = 167) was performed on admission and at 6,12,24 and 48 h. Clinical characteristics, major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCE) (death, reinfarction, stroke and new or worsening heart failure) and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) were noted on admission and 30 day follow-up. A 24-h troponin I level >60 ng/ml predicted MACCE (OR 4.06, p = 0.023; adjusted OR 5.09, p = 0.034) and less than 10% improvement in LVEF on follow-up (OR 2.49, p = 0.007). Thus, in patients undergoing pPCI, 24-h cardiac Troponin I is a good non-invasive surrogate to predict MACCE and improvement in LVEF.PMID:34861984 | DOI:10.1016/j.ihj.2021.09.004
