3 Objectives 1. Introduction. 2. Understanding ctn assays: Analytical characteristics. 3. Clinical correlation: A) ctn in the emergency department. B) Myocardial infarction. 4. New directions. Why are we talking about this? More than 8 million patients present annually to the ED with acute CP. Cardiac biomarker testing (CK-MB, ctni and ctnt) occurs in 16.9% of all ED visits million out of million ED visits in the United States ( ). Makam AN et al.

Troponin Assays: Understanding test results. - Limit of blank (LoB) - Limit of detection (LoD) -99 th percentile upper-reference limit (URL) - Coefficient of variation (CV) total imprecision. 4

6 Troponin Assays: Understanding test results. - Limit of blank (LoB) - Limit of detection (LoD) -99 th percentile upper-reference limit (URL) - Coefficient of variation (CV) total imprecision. Limit of blank (LoB) Limit of Detection (LoD) Smallest concentrations of a measurand that can be reliably measured by an analytical procedure. Armbruster DA, Pry T. Clin Biochem Rev

8 Cardiac Troponin and the 99 th percentile URL DEFINITION OF MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION The term acute MI should be used when there is evidence of myocardial necrosis in a clinical setting consistent with acute myocardial ischemia. Under these conditions any one of the following criteria meets the diagnosis for MI: Detection of a rise and/or fall of cardiac biomarker values [preferably ctn] with at least one value above the 99 th percentile URL and with at least one of the following: 1. Ischemic symptoms 2. New or presumed new ST-T changes or new LBBB 3. Development of pathological Q waves in the ECG 4. Imaging evidence of new loss of viable myocardium or new regional wall motion abnormality. 5. Identification of an intracoronary thrombus by angiography or autopsy. Thygesen et al. Third Universal Definition of MI. JACC 2012 Case Example: Abbott Architect ctni Assay ng/ml NOT the 99 th percentile <0.010 ng/ml LoD Limit of Detection Manufacturer s Package: - LoD: µg/l or ng/ml - 99 th percentile URL: µg/l or ng/ml - 10% CV concentration: µg/l or ng/ml 7

Only one-third of labs follow the Third Universal Definition of MI.

15 Chest Pain in the ED US Data >8 million patients present annually to the ED with acute CP. 2 10% are diagnosed with ACS. Cost in excess of $8 billion. Unnecessary hospitalization and testing. Current strategies often require hospital admission from hours in most US hospitals (>90%) and include serial ECGs and biomarker measurements, observation and some of functional testing to exclude myocardial ischemia. Hoffmann U et al. AHJ 2012 Limitations of Contemporary ctn Assays Delays in Excluding Disease Delays in rule-out interferes with evaluation of alternative diagnoses and contributes to expensive overcrowding in the ED (~ increased in medical errors, public health problem). Delays in Diagnosing Disease Delays in rule-in hold back prompt use of evidencebased therapies. Delayed increase of circulating levels for 3-4 hours, often requiring sampling for 6-12 hours.
