1 Peri-operative Troponin Measurements - Pathophysiology and Prognosis Allan S. Jaffe, MD.* Consultant - Cardiology & Laboratory Medicine Professor of Medicine Chair, CCLS Division, Department of Laboratory Medicine and Pathology Mayo Clinic and Medical School Rochester, Minnesota *Dr. Jaffe is or has been a consultant to most of the major diagnostic companies and Amgen. CP

2 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

7 Differentiation between MI Types according to the Condition of the Coronary Arteries Plaque rupture with clot MI Type 1 Vasospasm or endothelial dysfunction Fixed Atherosclerosis and Supply-demand imbalance MI Type 2 MI Type 2 Supply-demand imbalance alone MI Type 2 CP

8 CHARACTERISTICS OF TYPE 1 AND TYPE 2 AMIS Type 1 Type 2 Spontaneous around known triggers Higher ctn Some evidence of increased demand Lower ctn Persistent ECG changes, especially ST segment depression More transient ECG changes Out patients Procedure related often More procoagulant activity Procoagulation related inadequate perfusion CP
