Milestones in Myocardial Infarction Guideline Developments

2000 2012

• Integrates new knowledge.

• Small myocardial injury can be detected usingsensitive assay or imaging.

• Rising or falling kinetics helps discriminateacute from chronic illness.

2007

Thygesen, et al. Eur Heart J. 2012;33:2551-67.

2000: cTn is the preferred biomarker.Values >99th percentile with an assaythat has <10%CV at the 99th percentilerecommended.

3rd Universal Definition of MI (2012)

Each of the five types defines a value for cTn for a diagnosis.

Cardiac troponin (cTn) critical to the identification of NSTEMI.

A changing cTn pattern aids differentiation of AMI from othercauses of chronic cTn elevation.

As cTn is not standardized, the 99th percentile of the assay URLis used.

Five different types of MI are defined.

Why do troponin assays differ numerically?

• Standardization• No universal standard is currently available• Manufacturers use their own standards

• Capture antibodies differ among manufacturers

• Detection antibodies differ among manufacturers

• Troponin is degraded into multiple fragments• A troponin assay may or may not detect different fragments

• Numeric values have no relationship to sensitivity of the assay

Page 21: Impact of Troponin Performance on Patient Care · 2017-03-27 · Page 4 December 2015 A91DX-CAI-151429-UC1-4A00 U.S. Hospitals Are Facing Increased Pressures Patient Outcomes Financial

Troponin I Molecule

Immunoassays use antibodies to bind and capture the troponin moleculeTroponin is degraded in the circulation, therefore the best assay design is totarget the stable region

AHA/ACC Guidelines for Management of NSTEMI

• Serial cTn should be obtained at presentation and at 3–6 hours. Assess changevalue in cTn (rising or falling pattern) using the 99th percentile and >20% change.

• Additional cTn testing beyond 6 hours if time of symptomonset is unclear or if clinical suspicion for MI remains.

• “Clinicians should be aware of the sensitivity of the tests used for troponinevaluation in their hospitals and cut-point concentrations for clinical decisions.”

• “Depending on the assay, values may not become abnormal for up to 12 hours.”Amsterdam EA, et al. Circulation 2014;130:e344-426.

Why Serial Testing?

Serial testing can aid differentiation of an elevated cTnI resulting from an AMIfrom other causes of chronic cTnI elevation.

This is especially important when using sensitive/high-sensitive cTn assays.

A guideline acceptabletroponin assay could

potentially show a significantchange at 3 hrs as opposed to6 hrs for a clinically useableassay thereby expediting the

diagnosis of myocardialinfarction.

An early diagnosis ofmyocardial infarction

facilitates rapid decisionmaking and treatment and

therefore improves theoutcome in patients

presenting with symptoms ofchest pain.

Is It an MI? Rapid Risk Stratification Using Sensitive cTnI (Siemens DimensionEXL Assay)

Accelerated risk stratification of patients with ACS symptoms may occur at 2 hpost-presentation using troponin results measured by a sensitive* assay.”

*Sensitive cTn assay used was Siemens Dimension EXL LOCI cTnI.

“Incorporation of such strategy could support improvements in patient flow within emergency departments.”

*Similar results were found using a longer 0 and 6 hour testing strategy with the Beckman Accu TnI assay

Earlier Rule-out with Sensitive, Guideline Acceptable Assays?

“When used in conjunction with other clinical information including the ECG, a simplealgorithm incorporating s-cTnI* values at presentation and after 1 h (or 2 h) will allow safe rule-out and accurate rule-in of AMI in the majority of patients.”

Note: 41.5% (n = 901) were defined as “early presenters” (chest pain onset <3 h) and 58.5%(n = 1272) had chest pain onset >3 h.

*s-cTnI assay used was the Siemens TnI-Ultra.

Earlier Rule-out with Sensitive, Guideline Acceptable Assays?

“Although the achieved NPVs for the 1 h and 2 h algorithmswere very high, it is important to highlight that they should onlybe used clinically in conjunction with full clinical assessmentincluding patient history and exam, and the 12-lead ECG.”

“30-day mortality was 0.2% for patients assigned to the rule-out zone,further documenting the safety of this approach and the suitability ofmany of these patients for early discharge.”

“The 1 h/2 h algorithms assigned 70% of patients a definite process(either rule-out or rule-in), with 30% of patients remaining in theobservational zone.”

Important Aspects of Cardiac Troponin Testing

Sensitivity varies tremendously among commercially available cTn assays.

Sensitivity of the tests used for troponin evaluation in their hospitals and cut-pointconcentrations for clinical decisions difffer.

Depending on the assay or time of presentation, values may not become abnormalfor up to 12 hours.

Late presenters may not demonstrate a significant serial change if near the peak, orif troponin levels have declined.

99th percentile cutoff universally endorsed:• Determined in a healthy population.

• Derived from peer-reviewed literature ormanufacturer.

• Analytical precision should be ≤10% CV.

Guideline Acceptable (Sensitive) Assay:

• High-sensitivity assays (hs assays) shouldmeasure cTn >limit of detection (LoD) in ≥50%of the healthy subjects used to determine the99th percentile.

• Results reported in ng/L or pg/mL instead of µg/L(gives whole-number values instead of decimalsfor easier interpretation).

“A contemporary sensitive assay delivered similar overall accuracy to the investigational test,suggesting that we have reached a point of maximum diagnostic return with increasing analyticalsensitivity.”

High Sensitivity Impacts Specificity

“It is undeniable that the leading drawback of HS immunoassays

is represented by the lower specificity for diagnosing ACS. With

awareness of this limitation, the use of serial sampling is virtually

irrenunciable for increasing the positive-predictive value of HS methods.”

Preparing for the Implementation of hs-Assays*

1. Educate lab and clinical staff on relevant literature pertaining to the new assay

2. Understand that the concentration of troponin will change and will not involve aconversion factor

3. Establish a URL at the 99th percentile

4. Change from a single sex to a sex-specific 99th percentile

5. Report only whole numbers in ng/L

6. Define a QC material at the 99th percentile to monitor %CV*Apple FS, et al. Cardiac Troponin Assays: Guide to Understanding AnalyticalCharacteristics and Their Impact on Clinical Care. Clin Chem 63:1, 73-81 (2017).

8. Provide serial testing protocols that consider earlier measurements, such asbaseline, 1.5, and 3 hours for diagnostic determinations

9. Educate clinicians that although an increased troponin is reflective ofcardiac damage but not for ischemic damage

10. Assure good preanalytical sampling as the hs-assays are so sensitivethat poor sample quality can be a problem

Summary: Sensitive and High Sensitive cTn for an AMI Diagnosis

• Both sensitive(guideline acceptable) and high-sensitive assays support rapid identification of anAMI.

• Less-sensitive assays can miss MIs.• Use the same assay to assess change.• Improved sensitivity of troponin assays translates

to:• Detection of smaller areas of necrosis• earlier detection following injury• shorter serial testing protocols

• High sensitive troponin assays are underdevelopment but are not yet available in the US

• Preparation and education of labs andclinicians will be needed prior toimplementation

• New protocols may be needed.
