3 Kriterier för akut hjärtinfarkt Bevis på myokardskada/nekros: Konstaterad höjning och/eller sänkning av biomarkörer (företrädesvis troponin) med minst ett värde över den 99e percentilen hos en frisk referenspopulation Samt minst ett av följande kliniska fynd överrensstämmande med ischemi: 1. Symtom på ischemi, främst bröstsmärta 2. EKG-förändringar tydande på ischemi (nya ST-T-förändringar eller nytillkommet vänstersidigt skänkelblock) 3. Utveckling av patologisk q-våg i EKG 4. Bildbevis på nytillkommen hjärtmuskelskada 5. Konstaterad trombos i något av hjärtats kranskärl Thygesen et al. Third Universal definition of Myocardial Infarction, 2012

10 Consequences of implementing a cardiac troponin assay with improved sensitivity at Swedish coronary care units: an analysis from the SWEDEHEART registry. Eggers KM, Lindahl B, Melki D, Jernberg T. Eur Heart J Aug 7;37(30) Retrospective register-based study ( coronary care unit admissions; SWEDEHEART registry) We compared the case mix, the use of diagnostic procedures, treatments, and 1- year all-cause mortality 1 year before the implementation of a ctn assay with improved sensitivity (study period 1) and 1 year thereafter (study period 2). CONCLUSIONS: The implementation of a ctn assay with improved sensitivity was associated with an increase in the number of patients who due to their ctn-status were identified as suitable for beneficial therapies. There was no inappropriate increase in hospital resource utilization. As such, ctn assays with improved sensitivity provide an opportunity to improve the clinical management of patients with suspected ACS.

37 The combination provides incremental diagnostic value only when using conventional ctn assays (NPV 98-99%) Major limitation: the complexity to add an additional analyzer into the laboratory work-flow

38 Caveats in conjunction with all available clinical information not all patients in whom AMI are ruled-out are necessarily candidates for rapid discharge very early (<2 hours) presenters after the onset of symptoms late-risers in high-sensitivity ctn (about 1% of patients) percentage of patients of eligible for rule-out, NPV and PPV depends on population characteristics such as the local prevalence of AMI challenging patients such as patients on chronic hemodialysis and patients presenting >12h after chest pain onset structured and validated clinical pathways for the significant proportion of patients in the no rule-out, no rule-in zone are needed

39 Conclusions rule-out hs-ctn assays are critical for establishing positive rule-out criteria With positive rule-out criteria it seems to be possible to rule out AMI in 10-60% of chest pain patients within 0-1 hour from admission to the ED It is still unclear which strategy (very low cut-off, 1-2 h protocol, combination with other markers or Score) is the best option Large multi-center studies validating the different strategies are much needed The study population and the Gold Standard for AMI diagnosis are critical to consider when comparing different studies

43 0h/1h-algorithm 0h/2h-algorithm Setting ED ED Specificity for AMI 95-97% 97-99%% PPV for AMI 70-81% 77-85% % ruled-in* 12-16% 8-14% Characteristics if using:** hs-ctnt 1,2,6 (Elecsys) hs-ctni 3,7 (Architect) hs-ctni 4 (Dimension Vista) s-ctni ultra 5 (Centaur) Hs-cTnT 52 OR 1h delta 5 Hs-cTnI 52 OR 1h delta 6 Hs-cTnI 107 OR 1h delta 19 s-ctni 166 OR 1h delta 30 Validation Additional advantages Also provides guidance for rule-out Hs-cTnT 53 OR 1h delta 10 Hs-cTnI 64 OR 1h delta 15 s-ctni 166 OR 1h delta 36 Also provides guidance for rule-out

44 Conclusions For very early rule-in with a high PPV, both a higher decision limit than the 99 th percentile and a delta higher than the +logrcv are required However, then only a relative small proportion of the AMIs will rule-in The optimal early rule-in criteria are still unclear Large multi-center studies validating the different strategies are much needed The study population and the Gold Standard for AMI diagnosis are critical to consider when comparing different studies
