4 Biomarker (ctn) Guideline Efforts: ACS National Academy Clinical Biochemistry (Clin Chem 1999; Circ, Clin Chem 2007) Clinical, analytical, point of care International Federation Clinical Chemistry (CCLM 2001; Circ, Clin Chem 2007) Analytical - quality specifications Future biomarkers (Clin Chem 2005) Epidemiology Case Definition (Circ 2003) AHA collaboration Soc Chest Pain Centers (2005) Clinical: unstable angina/nstemi ACC/AHA 2007 Guidelines Management UA/NSTEMI (JACC 2002; Circ 2007) Clinical European Society of Cardiology on Acute Cardiac Care (Eur Heart J 2010) Analytical and clinical WHO Definition of MI: revision (Int J Epidemiol 2010) Joint ESC/ACC/AHA/WHF Task Force (JACC, EHJ 2000; Circ, JACC, EHJ 2007;2012) Clinical and analytical Third Universal Definition of Myocardial Infarction (Circ, JACC, EHJ Sept 2012) Clinical and analytical URL defined by 99 th percentile ACCF 2012 Expert Consensus Document Practical Clinical Considerations Interpretation Troponin Elevations (JACC 012)

5 Definition of Myocardial Infarction MI defined myocardial cell death due to prolonged ischemia Myocardial injury detected with increased (above 99 th percentile) blood ctn but does not indicate underlying mechanism 3 rd Universal Definition 2012

6 Case 56 year old female presents with clinical symptoms suggestive of ischemic chest pain Essentially normal EKG Contemporary ctni assay used in ER lab 99 th percentile (EDTA plasma): µg/l (30 ng/l) Patient 0h ctni result = 38 ng/l As presenting ctn above 99th percentile coupled with symptoms suggestive of ischemia, concern for an acute MI in ED for which Clopidogrel load given Patient transferred to RTU (Rapid Transit Unit) for assessment for possible ACS Apple 2014 Unpublished

7 Cardiac Troponin Order Set ctni, 99 th ng/l 0h 3h 6h 9h Contemporary Assay, Following the 3 rd Universal Definition of MI, this case was adjudicated as an acute MI Predicated on increased ctni above the 99 th percentile with a falling value over time with an suggestive presentation of ischemia Apple 2014 Unpublished

8 Cardiac Troponin Order Set Following Serial ctni Values ctni, 99 th ng/l 0h 3h 6h 9h Contemporary: High Sensitivity All normals: Using a hs-ctni assay based on an overall 99 th percentile, all serial ctn values were normal Independent adjudication rules out MI Apple 2014 Unpublished

9 Cardiac Troponin Order Set Following Serial ctni Values ctni, 99 th ng/l 0h 3h 6h 9h Contemporary: High Sensitivity All: 23 Male: 36 Female: Using an hs-ctni assay based on gender defined 99 th percentiles, all serial ctn values were increased However, no serial rising or falling pattern was observed Independent adjudication rules out MI, BUT determined to be non-acs myocardial injury Apple 2014 Unpublished

10 Common Questions/Concerns Emergency Medicine Need 30 min TAT 100% from time of blood draw POC testing Would like to rule out with 1 blood sample result Cardiology Do some cardiac troponin assays just measure MI? How to code a type 2 MI for reimbursement Would like use assay to avoid non-mi increases of ctn Worried that hs-ctn assays will force more consults/admissions Laboratory Don t understand that different assays by same manufacturer have different 99 th percentiles with different clinical sens & spec Assay in the lab does not have a 10%CV at the 99 th percentile, so we use the higher ROC curve / 10% CV cutoff concentration Should I use gender specific 99 th percentile when high sensitivity assays are cleared by FDA for clinical use

11 ACS Triage Process at HCMC Role of Cardiac Troponin Presentation To ED with Symptoms Suggestive of ACS Blood 0 h ED Lab ctni 45 min TAT (quant) Normal Increased 48h Rapid Transit Unit Monitored Beds 3,6,9 h (central lab) 3,6,9 h (central lab) Normal Out-Pt Discharge Become positive triage to monitored units 8,000/30,000 ctn tests (26%) ED, 2000 annual admissions for R/O Overall ACS rule in 8 to 12%; type 2 (non-acs) rule in 10 to 12%

15 High Sensitivity Cardiac Troponin Assays Analytical Discussion Points Unlikely that ctni assays will ever be standardized There is no INR or harmonization factor for ctni assays Need uniform criteria for selecting reference group to determine 99 th percentile Role of surrogate biomarkers and imaging for defining normality Gender-dependent 99 th percentiles Likely age dependent over 60 years Criteria to define high-sensitivity assays Need to measure >50% of normals 10%CV at 99 th percentile Need appropriate quality control at 99 th percentile Biological variability now defined Need to report cardiac troponin in whole number: ng/l units Risk stratification cutoffs may vary depending on patient populations ACS patients Primary or secondary prevention in general population

34 Presenting (ER) with Normal ctn Concentration with High-Sensitivity ctn Assay and MI Normal hs-ctn levels at presentation should not be used as a single parameter to rule out AMI 2072 consecutive patients with hs-ctnt assay measurements, 21.4% had an adjudicated diagnosis of AMI 6%-23% of adjudicated AMI cases had normal levels of ctn (4 different hs-assays) at presentation Adjudicated by contemporary local assays Data highlight the lack of standardization among hs-ctni assays resulting in substantial differences in sensitivity and NPV at the 99th percentile If assays are going to be compared, absolutely necessary to determine 99 th percentiles from same reference population Hoeller, Mueller Heart 2013

101 The older adult Mr. M is a 73 year male who returns from Florida for his routine physical. He is has hypertension, but remains physically active. He asks about his long-term cardiovascular risk and you measure his ctnt level with a new high sensitive assay. It is 17 ng/l.

102 Possible responses to an elevated hs cardiac troponin result in an asymptomatic older adult No worries, we just learned that hs ctn results are age dependent and this patient is below the 99 th percentile for age. Repeat level in 2-3 years and follow the trajectory? Perhaps increased risk for symptomatic cardiovascular disease? Counsel on getting even more active?

116 Measuring hs-ctni or hs-ctnt is (and should be until proved otherwise) the standard to test all other biomarkers in patients from a community population with or without known coronary artery disease. The use of hs cardiac troponin assays, I think, will assume a spot as a biomarker in primary prevention and will eventually become a risk factor alongside the conventional Framingham risk factors Now what?

131 Conclusions Troponin measured by a high sensitive assay is frequently elevated in high-risk asymptomatic cohorts and often detectable in the general population, particularly older adults Higher troponin levels are associated with cardiac hypertrophy and systolic dysfunction and predict progression to symptomatic heart failure Measures of high sensitive troponin levels may ultimately be used to guide efficacy of lifestyle or medical interventions
