Regarding the management of suspected Non-ST-segment-elevation acute coronary syndrome (ACS), the main Biomarker-in-Cardiology (BIC)-8 randomized controlled trial study had reported non-inferiority for the incidence of major adverse cardiac events at 30 days in the Copeptin group (dual marker strategy of copeptin and hs-cTnT at presentation) compared to the standard process (serial hs-cTnT testing). However, in 349 (38.7%) of the 902 patients, high-sensitivity cardiac troponin was not available for the treating physicians. High sensitivity cardiac troponin T was re-measured from thawed blood samples collected at baseline. This cohort qualified for a re-analysis of the 30-day incidence rate of MACE (death, survived cardiac death, acute myocardial infarction, re-hospitalization for acute coronary syndrome, acute unplanned percutaneous coronary intervention, coronary bypass grafting, or documented life-threatening arrhythmias), or components of the primary endpoint including death or death/MI. After re-measurement of troponin and exclusion of 9 patients with insufficient blood sample volume, 893 patients qualified for re-analysis. A total of 57 cases were detected with high sensitivity cardiac troponin T ≥ 14 ng/L who had been classified as “troponin negative” based on a conventional cardiac troponin T or I < 99th percentile upper limit of normal. Major adverse cardiac events rates after exclusion were non-inferior in the Copeptin group compared to the standard group (4.34% (95% confidence intervals 2.60–6.78%) vs. 4.27% (2.55–6.66%)). Rates were 53% lower in the per-protocol analysis (HR 0.47, 95% CI: 0.18–1.15, p = 0.09). No deaths occurred within 30 days in the discharged low risk patients of the Copeptin group. Copeptin combined with high sensitivity cardiac troponin is useful for risk stratification and allows early discharge of low-to-intermediate risk patients with suspected acute coronary syndrome is as safe as a re-testing strategy at 3 h or later.

Background Myocardial injury in patients with COVID‐19 is associated with increased mortality during index hospitalization; however, the relationship to long‐term sequelae of SARS‐CoV‐2 is unknown. This study assessed the relationship between myocardial injury (high‐sensitivity cardiac troponin T level) during index hospitalization for COVID‐19 and longer‐term outcomes. Methods and Results This is a prospective cohort of patients who were hospitalized at a single center between March and May 2020 with SARS‐CoV‐2. Cardiac biomarkers were systematically collected. Outcomes were adjudicated and stratified on the basis of myocardial injury. The study cohort includes 483 patients who had high‐sensitivity cardiac troponin T data during their index hospitalization. During index hospitalization, 91 (18.8%) died, 70 (14.4%) had thrombotic complications, and 126 (25.6%) had cardiovascular complications. By 12 months, 107 (22.2%) died. During index hospitalization, 301 (62.3%) had cardiac injury (high‐sensitivity cardiac troponin T≧14 ng/L); these patients had 28.6%, 32.2%, and 33.2% mortality during index hospitalization, at 6 months, and at 12 months, respectively, compared with 4.1%, 4.9%, and 4.9% mortality for those with low‐level positive troponin and 0%, 0%, and 0% for those with undetectable troponin. Of 392 (81.2%) patients who survived the index hospitalization, 94 (24%) had at least 1 readmission within 12 months, of whom 61 (65%) had myocardial injury during the index hospitalization. Of 377 (96%) patients who were alive and had follow‐up after the index hospitalization, 211 (56%) patients had a documented, detailed clinical assessment at 6 months. A total of 78 of 211 (37.0%) had ongoing COVID‐19–related symptoms; 34 of 211 (16.1%) had neurocognitive decline, 8 of 211 (3.8%) had increased supplemental oxygen requirements, and 42 of 211 (19.9%) had worsening functional status. Conclusions Myocardial injury during index hospitalization for COVID‐19 was associated with increased mortality and may predict who are more likely to have postacute sequelae of COVID‐19. Among patients who survived their index hospitalization, the incremental mortality through 12 months was low, even among troponin‐positive patients.

AbstractThe purpose of this study was to determine whether exercise training mediated cardiac troponin T (cTnT) and whether this was associated with increases in left ventricular mass (LVM). Fifty-four sedentary obese women were randomised to high-intensity interval training (HIIT, repeated 4–min cycling at 90% V̇O2max interspersed with 3–min rest), work-equivalent continuous aerobic training (CAT, continuous cycling at 60% V̇O2max) or a control group (CON). Resting serum cTnT was assessed using a high-sensitivity assay before and after 12 weeks of training. LVM was determined from 2D echocardiography at the same timepoints. Both HIIT and CAT induced a similar elevation (median 3.07 to 3.76 ng.l−1, p<0.05) in resting cTnT compared with pre-training and the CON (3.49 to 3.45 ng.l−1, p>0.05). LVM index in HIIT increased (62.2±7.8 to 73.1±14.1 g.m−2, p<0.05), but not in CAT (66.1±9.7 to 67.6±9.6 g.m−2, p>0.05) and CON (67.9±9.5 to 70.2±9.1 g.m−2, p>0.05). Training-induced changes in resting cTnT did not correlate with changes in LVM index (r=−0.025, p=0.857). These findings suggest that twelve weeks of either HIIT or CAT increased resting cTnT, but the effects were independent of any changes in LVM in sedentary obese women.
