  1. Hypertroponinaemia Michael Stewart CT1 ACCS

  2. Case 1 • 64 year old male • Known history of IHD – 2x NSTEMI, UA • Two hours of central chest pain, identical to previous MI • ECG: Lateral ST depression • Trop T 0.07

  3. Case 2 • 72 year old male • Presents with three hours central chest pain, onset during dancing • Nausea, mildly dyspnoeic • Ex-smoker; hypertensive • Not diabetic, no FH of IHD

  4. Case 2 • ECG shows dynamic inferior ST depression • Pain eased after IV GTN and morphine with resolution of ECG changes • Troponin 0.56

  5. Case 3 • 62 year old female • Onset of palpitations and dyspnoea on waking • GP found irregular pulse, rate ~160

  6. Case 3 • Hypertensive; no other significant co-morbidity • ECG: Fast AF, rate ~170 • BP 100/60 • Pale, clammy, drowsy • DC Cardioversion – SR restored • Troponin 0.13

  7. Troponin • Component of cardiac and striated muscle • Calcium binding initiates conformational change to permit myosin to bind to actin filament • Myosin conformational cycling on actin acts as ‘molecular motor’ for muscle contraction • Cardiac Troponins are specific for cardiac myocyte damage • Troponin is NOT specific for myocardial infarction

  8. PICI/SICI/NICI • Primary Ischaemic Cardiac Injury • Secondary Ischaemic Cardiac Injury • Non-Ischaemic Cardiac Injury

  9. PICI • Coronary artery occlusion/stenosis by thrombotic disease • STEMI/NSTEMI

  10. NSTEMI • Any two of: • Typical chest pain • Typical ECG changes • Rise in cardiac enzymes New definition!

  11. 2007 Universal Definition Troponin > 99th centile of reference range • (Locally agreed at Trop T > 0.1) PLUS: • Ischaemic symptoms • ECG changes • Regional wall motion abnormality • Loss of viable myocardium on imaging

  12. SICI • Secondary cause of coronary artery obstruction • Embolic disease; during PCI; during CABG • Coronary vasospasm or inflammation • Primary; vasculitides; SLE • Increased myocardial oxygen demand • Tachyarrythmias; prolonged exercise; sympathomimetic drugs; heart failure; PE

  13. NICI • Direct trauma • Penetrating; blunt; surgical • Myocarditis • Infectious; auto-immune; drug/alcohol; inflammatory • Metabolic • Renal failure; multiple organ failure; sepsis

  14. Cases • Case 1: Typical chest pain, Trop T 0.07 • PICI, not criteria for NSTEMI • Case 2: Typical chest pain, Trop T 0.56 • NSTEMI • Case 3: Fast AF, no pain, Trop T 0.13 • SICI ( + NICI )

  15. Questions?

  16. Summary • Troponins are a sensitive marker of cardiac myocyte damage • Not all cardiac myocyte damage represents acute myocardial infarction • Primary, secondary, and non-ischaemic causes exist
