4 Elevations of Troponins without Overt Ischemic Heart Disease Trauma (including contusion, ablation, pacing, ICD firings including atrial defibrillators, cardioversion, endomyocardial biopsy, cardiac surgery, after interventional closure of ASDs) Congestive heart failure acute and chronic Aortic valve disease and HOCM with significant LVH Hyper and hypotension, especially with arrhythmias Postoperative noncardiac surgery patients who seem to do well Renal failure Critically ill patients, with respiratory failure, gastrointestinal bleeding, sepsis, heat stroke Drug toxicity, eg adriamycin, 5 FU, herceptin, snake venoms, carbon monoxide poisoning Hypothyroidism Abnormalities in coronary vasomotion, including coronary vasospasm Apical ballooning syndrome Inflammatory diseases eg. myocarditis, eg. Parvovirus B19, Kawasaki disease, sarcoid, smallpox vaccination, or myocardial extension of BE Post PCI patients who appear to be uncomplicated Pulmonary embolism, severe pulmonary hypertension Sepsis Burns, esp if TBSA > 30% Cardiomyopathies including Infiltrative diseases such as amyloidosis, hemachromatosis, sarcoidosis and scleroderma, non compaction syndrome Acute neurological disease, including CVA, subarchnoid bleeds Rhabdomyolysis with cardiac injury Transplant vasculopathy CP Vital Exhaustion

14 Determining Assay Values Are Different 1. Determine the standard deviation around the values 2. With elevated troponin values, this is a coefficient of variation of 5-7% 3. The 95% confidence limit for a significant difference between the values is +/- 1.96*sqrt(2)*SDa = 2.77*SDa Thus 3 SDs of the variance between values should ensure that one is measuring a true difference CP

38 MUST USE FIXED TIMING Near 99 th % URL value Delta Guidance The greater the change, the more likely AMI The lesser the change, the less likely AMI Percentages and absolute values may provide similar information At higher levels Absolute values may be better CP

39 Delta Guidance MUST USE FIXED TIMING Near 99 th % URL value At higher levels Avoid The greater the change, the more likely AMI The lesser the change, the less likely AMI Percentages and absolute values may provide similar information Absolute values may be better Extrapolating the data from one assay to another assay The idea that release is continuous so that one can use a one or 2 hour delta by dividing by the delta found at 5 or 6 hours.
