Aim. Study the immediate clinical significance of determination of highly sensitive troponin (high sensitive cardiac troponin - hscTn) in the early diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Material and methods. The analysis of nosological diagnosis in 92 patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS), urgently hospitalized in the coronary care unit of the Nizhny Novgorod regional hospital. N.A. Semashko. The time from the moment of development of pain syndrome, hospitalization in a hospital ranged from 40 minutes to 4 hours, averaging 2.5 ± 0.32 hours. During hospitalization of patients in the complex diagnosis of AMI in addition to General clinical examination, ECG was determined by the content hscTn and troponin I. All patients in the hospital was performed selective coronary angiography (SCG). Evaluated the sensitivity, specificity and diagnostic accuracy hscTn in comparison with troponin I. Analysis results were represented as a percentage and using a software package "STATISTICA 10.0" (StatSoft, Inc., USA). Results. AMI is diagnosed in 74% of cases (n=68), and the rest 26% (n=24) unstable (progressive) angina (NS). Transmural myocardial infarction or Q-wave myocardial infarction detected in 54% (n=37) of patients. Intramural myocardial infarction or non Q-wave myocardial infarction - in 46% (n=31). AMI re-seen in 27% (n=18). Importance of the study of both cardiac troponin in the early diagnosis of AMI showed the following. Sensitivity hscTn reached 98%, while troponin I - 88%. Specificity hscTn was 79%, and troponin I, only 66%. Overall diagnostic accuracy hscTn was 92%, troponin I less - 83%). Conclusion. The results of the study indicate a predominant clinical significance hscTn in comparison with troponin I in early diagnosis of AMI in the parameters of sensitivity, specificity and diagnostic accuracy.

<b><i>Introduction:</i></b> Current assays based on the 0-hour/1-hour (0-/1-h) algorithm using high-sensitivity cardiac troponin (hs-cTn) are limited to only Abbott Architect hs-cTnI, Siemens Vista hs-cTnI, and Roche Elecsys hs-cTnT. <b><i>Objective:</i></b> This study aimed to evaluate this new hs-cTnI assay, LumipulsePresto hs Troponin I, for diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) on admission and on 0-/1-h algorithm to stratify AMI patients precisely. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> This prospective cohort study included 442 patients with suspected non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction in three hospitals in Japan and Taiwan from June 2016 to January 2019. We enrolled patients presenting to the emergency department with symptoms suggestive of AMI and collected blood samples on admission and 1 hour later. Two independent cardiologists centrally adjudicated final diagnoses; all clinical information was reviewed twice: first, using serial hs-cTnT (Roche-Elecsys, primary analysis) and Lumipulse Presto Lumipulse Presto, second, using the Lumipulse Presto hs-cTnI measurements. At first, we compared diagnostic accuracy quantified using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves for AMI. Then, we evaluated major adverse cardiovascular events (cardiac death, AMI) in the rule-out group according to a 0-hour/1-hour algorithm at the 30-day follow-up. <b><i>Results:</i></b> Diagnostic accuracy at presentation by the ROC curve for AMI was very high and similar for the LumipulsePresto hs-cTnI and hs-cTnT,(area under the curve [AUC]: LumipulsePresto hs-cTnI, 0.89, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.86–0.93; hs-cTnT, 0.89, 95% CI 0.85–0.93; <i>p</i> = 0.82). In early presenters, the LumipulsePresto hs-cTnI appeared to maintain the diagnostic performance of hs-cTn for patients with &#x3c;3 h (AUC: LumipulsePresto hs-cTnI, 0.87, 95% CI 0.81–0.92; hs-cTnT, 0.86, 95% CI 0.80–0.92; <i>p</i> = 0.81). The algorithm using the LumipulsePresto hs-cTnI ruled out AMI in 200 patients with negative predictive value and sensitivity of 100% (95% CI 97.3%–100%) and 100% (95% CI 92.7%–100%), respectively, in the rule-out group. <b><i>Conclusion:</i></b> Diagnostic accuracy and clinical utility of the novel LumipulsePresto hs-cTnI assay are high and comparable with the established hs-cTn assays.

Abstract BACKGROUND Clinical performance of the novel high-sensitivity cardiac troponin I (Siemens-hs-cTnI-Centaur) assay is unknown. We aimed to clinically validate the Siemens-hs-cTnI-Centaur assay and develop 0/1-h and 0/2-h algorithms. METHODS We enrolled patients presenting to the emergency department with symptoms suggestive of acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Final diagnoses were centrally adjudicated by 2 independent cardiologists including all clinical information twice: first, using serial hs-cTnT (Roche-Elecsys, primary analysis); second, using hs-cTnI (Abbott-Architect, secondary analysis) measurements in addition to the clinically applied (hs)-cTn. Siemens-hs-cTnI-Centaur was measured at presentation, 1 h, and 2 h. The primary objective was a direct comparison of diagnostic accuracy, quantified by the area under the ROC curve (AUC), of Siemens-hs-cTnI-Centaur vs the 2 established hs-cTn assays (Roche-hs-cTnT-Elecsys, Abbott-hs-cTnI-Architect). Secondary objectives included the development of Siemens-hs-cTnI-Centaur-specific 0/1-h and 0/2-h algorithms. RESULTS AMI was the final diagnosis in 318 of 1755 (18%) patients (using Roche-hs-cTnT-Elecsys for adjudication). The AUC at presentation for Siemens-hs-cTnI-Centaur was 0.94 (95% CI, 0.92–0.96) and comparable with 0.95 (95% CI, 0.93–0.97) for Roche-hs-cTnT-Elecsys and 0.93 (95% CI, 0.90–0.96) for Abbott-hs-cTnI-Architect. Applying the derived Siemens-hs-cTnI-Centaur 0/1-h algorithm to the validation cohort, 46% of patients were ruled out (sensitivity, 99.1%; 95% CI, 95.3–100), and 18% of patients were ruled in (specificity, 94.1%; 95% CI, 91.8–95.9). The Siemens-hs-cTnI-Centaur 0/2-h algorithm ruled out 55% of patients (sensitivity, 100%; 95% CI, 94.1–100), and ruled in 18% of patients (specificity, 96.0%; 95% CI, 93.1–97.9). Findings were confirmed in the secondary analyses using serial measurements of Abbott-hs-cTnI-Architect for adjudication. CONCLUSIONS Diagnostic accuracy and clinical utility of the novel Siemens-hs-cTnI-Centaur assay are high and comparable with the established hs-cTn assays.
