Abstract
Despite the progress made in risk stratification, sudden cardiac death and heart failure remain dreaded complications for hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) patients. Myocardial ischaemia is widely acknowledged as a contributor to cardiovascular events, but the assessment of ischaemia is not yet included in HCM clinical guidelines. This review aims to evaluate the HCM-specific pro-ischaemic mechanisms and the potential prognostic value of imaging for myocardial ischaemia in HCM. A literature review was performed using PubMed to identify studies with non-invasive imaging of ischaemia (cardiovascular magnetic resonance, echocardiography, and nuclear imaging) in HCM, prioritising studies published after the last major review in 2009. Other studies, including invasive ischaemia assessment and post-mortem histology, were also considered for mechanistic or prognostic relevance. Pro-ischaemic mechanisms in HCM reviewed included the effects of sarcomeric mutations, microvascular remodelling, hypertrophy, extravascular compressive forces and left ventricular outflow tract obstruction. The relationship between ischaemia and fibrosis was re-appraised by considering segment-wise analyses in multimodal imaging studies. The prognostic significance of myocardial ischaemia in HCM was evaluated using longitudinal studies with composite endpoints, and reports of ischaemia-arrhythmia associations were further considered. The high prevalence of ischaemia in HCM is explained by several micro- and macrostructural pathological features, alongside mutation-associated energetic impairment. Ischaemia on imaging identifies a subgroup of HCM patients at higher risk of adverse cardiovascular outcomes. Ischaemic HCM phenotypes are a high-risk subgroup associated with more advanced left ventricular remodelling, but further studies are required to evaluate the independent prognostic value of non-invasive imaging for ischaemia.

Saviñon-Flores AI, Saviñon-Flores F, Trejo G, Méndez E, Ţălu Ş, González-Fuentes MA, Méndez-Albores A. A review of cardiac troponin I detection by surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy: Under the spotlight of point-of-care testing. Front Chem 2022; 10:1017305. [PMID: 36311415 PMCID: PMC9608872 DOI: 10.3389/fchem.2022.1017305] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/11/2022] [Accepted: 09/29/2022] [Indexed: 11/29/2022] Open
Abstract
Cardiac troponin I (cTnI) is a biomarker widely related to acute myocardial infarction (AMI), one of the leading causes of death around the world. Point-of-care testing (POCT) of cTnI not only demands a short turnaround time for its detection but the highest accuracy levels to set expeditious and adequate clinical decisions. The analytical technique Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) possesses several properties that tailor to the POCT format, such as its flexibility to couple with rapid assay platforms like microfluidics and paper-based immunoassays. Here, we analyze the strategies used for the detection of cTnI by SERS considering POCT requirements. From the detection ranges reported in the reviewed literature, we suggest the diseases other than AMI that could be diagnosed with this technique. For this, a section with information about cardiac and non-cardiac diseases with cTnI release, including their release kinetics or cut-off values are presented. Likewise, POCT features, the use of SERS as a POCT technique, and the biochemistry of cTnI are discussed. The information provided in this review allowed the identification of strengths and lacks of the available SERS-based point-of-care tests for cTnI and the disclosing of requirements for future assays design.

Association of NT-proBNP and hs-cTnT with Imaging Markers of Diastolic Dysfunction and Focal Myocardial Fibrosis in Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy. Life (Basel) 2022; 12:life12081241. [PMID: 36013420 PMCID: PMC9410236 DOI: 10.3390/life12081241] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/03/2022] [Revised: 08/11/2022] [Accepted: 08/12/2022] [Indexed: 11/24/2022] Open
Abstract
Serum biomarkers such as N-terminal prohormone of the brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) and cardiac troponins are elevated in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). At present, it is not clear if these markers are associated with distinct clinical alterations in HCM, such as left ventricular hypertrophy, outflow tract obstruction, myocardial fibrosis and/or diastolic dysfunction (DD), which are associated with adverse cardiovascular outcome. Here we evaluate the association of NT-proBNP and high sensitivity cardiac troponin T (hs-cTnT) to a variety of cardiac imaging parameters in HCM patients in a multivariable regression analysis. This retrospective cross-sectional study included 366 HCM patients who underwent transthoracic echocardiography (TTE), 218 of whom also obtained cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) to assess focal myocardial fibrosis by LGE. Multivariable regression analyses revealed the strongest association of the DD parameters E/E′ mean and E/E′ septal with NT-proBNP (b = 0.06, 95%-CI [0.05−0.07], p < 0.001, R2 = 0.28; b = 0.08, 95%-CI [0.06−0.1], p < 0.001, R2 = 0.25) and LGE size showed the strongest association with hs-cTnT (b = 0.20, 95%-CI [0.15−0.24], p < 0.001, R2 = 0.28). This study indicates that NT-proBNP and hs-cTnT are associated with structural and functional alterations in HCM. NT-proBNP is a stronger predictor for DD, while hs-cTnT is associated with the extent of focal myocardial fibrosis. Both biomarkers might be useful in the diagnostic procedure in addition to imaging parameters.

Abstract
Myocardial infarction is common in the critically unwell population with pre-existing cardiovascular disease and is associated with a greater overall mortality. This article explores guidelines for diagnosing myocardial infarction, and research into the use of troponin as both a diagnostic and prognostic tool. Currently, the majority of patients in the intensive care unit with acute myocardial infarction go unrecognised. The underlying cause is predominantly oxygen supply-demand imbalance, therefore identifying those at risk is important as there is the potential to modify elements of their care and reduce their overall mortality.

Predictive Values of N-Terminal Pro-B-Type Natriuretic Peptide and Cardiac Troponin I for Myocardial Fibrosis in Hypertrophic Obstructive Cardiomyopathy. PLoS One 2016; 11:e0146572. [PMID: 26765106 PMCID: PMC4713160 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0146572] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/11/2015] [Accepted: 12/18/2015] [Indexed: 11/28/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Both high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T and B-type natriuretic peptide are useful in detecting myocardial fibrosis, as determined by late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR), in patients with non-obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. However, their values to predict myocardial fibrosis in hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (HOCM) remain unclear. We investigated the role of N-Terminal Pro-B-Type Natriuretic Peptide (NT-proBNP) and cardiac troponin I (cTnI) to identify LGE-CMR in patients with HOCM. Methods Peripheral concentrations of NT-proBNP and cTnI were determined in patients with HOCM (n = 163; age = 47.2 ± 10.8 years; 38.7% females). Contrast-enhanced CMR was performed to identify and quantify myocardial fibrosis. Results LGE was detected in 120 of 163 patients (73.6%). Patients with LGE had significantly higher levels of NT-proBNP and cTnI than those without LGE (1386.2 [904.6–2340.8] vs. 866.6 [707.2–1875.2] pmol/L, P = 0.003; 0.024 [0.010–0.049] vs. 0.010 [0.005–0.021] ng/ml, P <0.001, respectively). The extent of LGE was positively correlated with log cTnI (r = 0.371, P <0.001) and log NT-proBNP (r = 0.211, P = 0.007). On multivariable analysis, both log cTnI and maximum wall thickness (MWT) were independent predictors of the presence of LGE (OR = 3.193, P = 0.033; OR = 1.410, P < 0.001, respectively), whereas log NT-proBNP was not. According to the ROC curve analysis, combined measurements of MWT ≥21 mm and/or cTnI ≥0.025ng/ml indicated good diagnostic performance for the presence of LGE, with specificity of 95% or sensitivity of 88%. Conclusions Serum cTnI is an independent predictor useful for identifying myocardial fibrosis, while plasma NT-proBNP is only associated with myocardial fibrosis on univariate analysis. Combined measurements of serum cTnI with MWT further improve its value in detecting myocardial fibrosis in patients with HOCM.
