Purpose: This study aims to evaluate the role of high-sensitivity troponin T (hsTnT) as a complementary tool for determining cardiotoxicity in non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) patients receiving cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine and prednisone (CHOP) regimen chemotherapy. Methods: We included 35 patients diagnosed with NHL who received CHOP chemotherapy. Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and hsTnT were measured at two time points: before the first cycle (pre-test) and after the fourth cycle (post-test). The LVEF and hsTnT were analysed using IBM SPSS version 24 through the paired-sample T-test, Wilcoxon signed-rank test, Pearson’s correlation and Spearman’s correlation. Results: There was a significant difference in both LVEF and hsTnT between pre-chemotherapy and post-4th chemotherapy cycles (p = 0.001). However, more contrast difference from the baseline value of hsTnT compared to LVEF could be observed. LVEF did not detect any deterioration in myocardial function. However, 10 out of 35 subjects exhibit hsTnT higher than the 99th percentile of the population (>14 pg/ml), suggesting that myocardial injury (MI) could be detected. There was no correlation between LVEF and hsTnT (p > 0.05). Conclusion: HsTnT, together with LVEF, could complement each other and offer better coverage for detecting cardiotoxicity during the administration of CHOP in NHL patients. An insignificant correlation between hsTnT and LVEF showed that cardiotoxicity existed in a broad spectrum including cellular damage and functional impairment, as hsTnT represents cellular damage, and LVEF reflects heart functional capacity.

Abstract Background Elevated pre-procedural high-sensitivity troponin T (hs-TnT) levels predict adverse outcomes in patients with severe aortic stenosis (AS) undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). It is unknown whether elevated troponin levels still provide prognostic information during follow-up after successful TAVR. We evaluated the long-term implications of elevated hs-TnT levels found at 1-year post-TAVR. Methods and results The study included 349 patients who underwent TAVR for severe AS from 2010–2019 and for whom 1-year hs-TnT levels were available. Any required percutaneous coronary interventions were performed > 1 week before TAVR. The primary endpoint was survival time starting at 1-year post-TAVR. Optimal hs-TnT cutoff for stratifying risk, identified by ROC analysis, was 39.4 pg/mL. 292 patients had hs-TnT < 39.4 pg/mL (median 18.3 pg/mL) and 57 had hs-TnT ≥ 39.4 pg/mL (median 51.2 pg/mL). The high hs-TnT group had a higher median N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) level, greater left ventricular (LV) mass, higher prevalence of severe diastolic dysfunction, LV ejection fraction < 35%, severe renal dysfunction, and more men compared with the low hs-TnT group. All-cause mortality during follow-up after TAVR was significantly higher among patients who had hs-TnT ≥ 39.4 pg/mL compared with those who did not (mortality rate at 2 years post-TAVR: 12.3% vs. 4.1%, p = 0.010). Multivariate analysis identified 1-year hs-TnT ≥ 39.4 pg/mL (hazard ratio 2.93, 95% CI 1.91–4.49, p < 0.001), NT-proBNP level > 300 pg/mL, male sex, an eGFR < 60 mL/min/1.73 m2 and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease as independent risk factors for long-term mortality after TAVR. Conclusions Elevated hs-TnT concentrations at 1-year after TAVR were associated with a higher long-term mortality. Graphic abstract

Abstract Despite early reperfusion, patients with ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) may present large myocardial necrosis and significant impairment of ventricular function. The present study aimed to evaluate the role of subtypes of B lymphocytes and related cytokines in the infarcted mass and left ventricular ejection fraction obtained by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging performed after 30 days of STEMI. This prospective study included 120 subjects with STEMI submitted to pharmacoinvasive strategy. Blood samples were collected in subjects in the first (D1) and 30th (D30) days post STEMI. The amount of CD11b+ B1 lymphocytes (cells/ml) at D1 were related to the infarcted mass (rho = 0.43; P=0.033), measured by cardiac MRI at D30. These B1 cells were associated with CD4+ T lymphocytes at D1 and D30, while B2 classic lymphocytes at day 30 were related to left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). Higher titers of circulating IL-4 and IL-10 were observed at D30 versus D1 (P=0.013 and P&lt;0.001, respectively). Titers of IL-6 at D1 were associated with infarcted mass (rho = 0.41, P&lt;0.001) and inversely related to LVEF (rho = −0.38, P&lt;0.001). After multiple linear regression analysis, high-sensitivity troponin T and IL-6 collected at day 1 were independent predictors of infarcted mass and, at day 30, only HDL-C. Regarding LVEF, high-sensitivity troponin T and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein were independent predictors at day 1, and B2 classic lymphocytes, at day 30. In subjects with STEMI, despite early reperfusion, the amount of infarcted mass and ventricular performance were related to inflammatory responses triggered by circulating B lymphocytes.

Background: Hypertension is one of the most prevalent cardiovascular diseases and one of the most important causes of heart failure (HF) with preserved left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). We prospectively investigated the incremental predictive value of a combination of N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP), high-sensitivity troponin T (hsTnT), and galectin-3 for HF admission in outpatients with hypertension. Methods: Baseline serum NT-proBNP, hsTnT, and galectin-3 levels were measured in 443 outpatients (mean age, 69.4 years) with hypertension and LVEF ≥ 50%. Using tissue Doppler echocardiography, E/e’ ratio was calculated. Among these patients, 34% had a history of cardiovascular disease, and 46% had a history of diabetes. Results: Galectin-3 levels significantly (p < 0.0001) correlated with E/e’ ratio (r = 0.21) and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR; r = –0.78). During a mean follow-up period of 899 days, there were 40 (9%) HF admissions. Using multivariate Cox regression analysis including 10 clinical, biochemical, and echocardiographic variables, increased NT-proBNP (relative risk, 2.88 per 10-fold increment, p = 0.007) and hsTnT (4.30 per 10-fold increment, p = 0.004) levels, but not ga1ectin-3 levels, were shown to be independent predictors of HF admission. When patients were stratified into four groups according to NT-proBNP levels ≥ a median value of 193.7 pg/mL and/or hsTnT levels ≥ a median value of 14 pg/mL, HF admission rates were 1.1%, 2.1%, 4.3%, and 20%, respectively (p < 0.0001). Furthermore, when NT-proBNP and hsTnT levels were combined, the predictive values for HF admission were increased, as shown by the C-index, net reclassification improvement (NRI), and integrated discrimination improvement (IDI; Table 1). Conclusions: The combined assessment of NT-proBNP and hsTnT levels can improve the prediction of HF admission in outpatients with hypertension.
