1 15 th Annual Biomarkers in Heart Failure and Acute Coronary Syndromes STATE-OF-THE-ART High-Sensitivity Cardiac Troponin in Suspected ACS David A. Morrow, MD, MPH Director, Levine Cardiac Intensive Care Unit Director, TIMI Biomarker Program Senior Investigator, TIMI Study Group Professor of Medicine Brigham & Women s Hospital Harvard Medical School

2 Disclosures D Morrow has received Research grant support from Abbott, Amgen, AstraZeneca, Daiichi Sankyo, Eisai, GlaxoSmithKline, Medicines Co, Merck & Co, Roche, Novartis, and Takeda. Served as a consultant for Abbott, Aralez, AstraZeneca, Bayer, InCarda, and Roche. Some of the high sensitivity assays for cardiac troponin & applications discussed are not approved by the US FDA.

3 High Sensitivity Assays for ctn 1. hstn 101 Can measure ctn in >50% of normal population 2. The good Better assays deliver better overall dx accuracy Leverage sensitivity in hstn for NPV 3. The bad Capture many other conditions with injury 4. The path forward Use approach fr/ 4 th UDMI: #1 Acute? #2 Ischemia? Use the delta to separate acute from chronic

34 Discussion

35 hstn: My Seven Key Points for Practitioners to Know 1. ctn myocardial infarction 2. hstn will be measurable in majority of CV pts 3. Use in the ED is based on a probabilistic assessment not a definitive dx algorithm 4. Use the Δ to identify acute myocardial injury 5. hstn improves dx accuracy & prognostication 6. Use of hstn may decrease the amount of noninvasive and invasive testing and cost 7. Don t dismiss stably elevated hstn Recognize the increase in long-term risk Morrow DA. AACC 2017
