ABSTRACT

Background: Cardiac troponin I (cTnI) is reported to be very specific formyocardial cell damage without cross reactivity with skeletal muscle isoform.Evaluation of cTnI after CABG will be useful as an early marker of excessivepost operative myocardial damage when a specific therapeutic intervention canstill be efficient and improve outcome.Methodology: The study comprised of 50 patients who undergo Coronary arterybypass surgery at V.S group of Hospital. Blood sample were taken after 12 hour (T12) and 24 hour ( T24 ) of post CABG. The sample were analysed for cTnI.Results: Our results show that Troponin I levels after 2 hours, 12 hours and 24hours in patients who had better outcome after CABG was 9.2 ng/ml, 13.9 ng/mland 10.9 ng/ml respectively. Whereas, Troponin I levels after 2 hours, 12 hoursand 24 hours in patients who had adverse outcome like death of patients afterCABG was 10.6 ng/ml, 38.7 ng/ml and 28.9 ng/ml respectively.Conclusion: Routine measurement of cardiac troponin levels after cardiactroponin can identify group of patients at increased risk of complications ordeath.

ABSTRACT

Background: Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) management is one of the therapeutic challenges faced by the emergency physician. In the field of investigational cardiology advancements, the search of superior cardiac biomarkers has led to the discovery of sensitive biomarkers which help in the early confirmation of MI as timely intervention is the primary goal in acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Present study was aimed to evaluate the diagnostic performance of the novel biomarker H- FABP in patients with AMI especially in ST elevation MI (STEMI) and comparison of its diagnostic accuracy with the other biomarkers.Methods: We studied 66 patients with persistent STEMI presenting within 12 hours of symptom to the department of General Medicine, Sri Manakula Vinayagar Medical College and Hospital (SMVMCH), Puducherry. Quantitative and qualitative estimation and analysis of serum biomarkers of acute myocardial infarction such as CK-MB, cardiac Troponin I (cTnI) and H-FABP were done.Results: The sensitivity and specificity of H-FABP were 80.7 and 88.9% respectively. The positive percentage of the serum biomarkers among these patients were 64%, 65%, 86% for CK-MB, cardiac troponin I, and H-FABP respectively. The area under the curve was observed to be 0.695, with 95% confidence interval (0.514-0.876) at the optimum cut-off value of 7.0ng/ml for H-FABP.Conclusions: H-FABP the novel biomarker, because of its early appearance in the blood stream and due to its superior sensitivity and specificity compared to Troponin I and CK-MB can be used in the early diagnosis of acute ST elevation Myocardial Infarction

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Objective. The purpose of the present study was to test the hypothesis that cardiac alterations participate within different stages of CVL. Materials and methods. Dogs were diagnosed with CVL, were classified as follows; group I (mild disease), group II (moderate disease), group III (severe disease), group IV (very severe disease) and group V included healthy controls. Results. Ig G antibodies against Leishmaniasis in group as tested by IFAT, were deemed 1/64 to 1/16000 among infected groups. Considering the cTnI levels, there were significant differences (p=0.018) between stage IV (group IV) and healthy control group, besides between group IV and group I. Considering D-dimer levels, there was difference between healthy control group and group II, III and IV (p=0.005). Regareing NT-pro BNP levels, there were differences between healthy control group and stage III, IV, besides between stage I with stage III, IV (p=0.000). Conclusions. The results showed that levels of cTnI, Nt pro-BNP and D-dimer were higher in dogs infected with CVL in contrast to healthy dogs, in which levels of those biomarkers were below detection limits. Obtained results suggested the possibility of cTnI and NT pro-BNP as markers for cardiac damage and D-dimer as a supportive tool for a diagnosis of probable thromboembolism in dogs with CVL.

ABSTRACT

To study the effect and mechanism of Dendrobium candidum on isoproterenol-induced myocardial hypertrophy in rats, 60 healthy SD rats(30 males and 30 females) were randomly divided into 5 groups(12 in each group): normal group, model group, three D. candidum preventive administration groups(0.09, 0.18, 1.1 g·kg⁻¹). Except for the normal group, rats of other groups were injected back subcutaneously with ISO(5 mg·kg⁻¹) for 10 consecutive days. At the same time, preventive administration groups began to give different doses of the sample for 30 days and model group began to give normal saline. Left ventricular systolic pressure(LVSP) was measured in each group by common carotid artery cannulation, and the left ventricle(LW)/tibia length, heart weight index(HWI) and myocardial hydroxyproline(Hydro) content were calculated. Myocardial tissue HE staining and Masson staining were used to observe the myocardial structure and the degree of myocardial fibrosis respectively. Atrial natriuretic peptide(ANP), brain natriuretic peptide(BNP), and cardiac troponin I(cTN-I) concentration were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA). The results showed that as compared with the normal group, the levels of ANP, BNP and cTN-I in plasma were significantly increased in ISO-induced hypertrophic rats; as compared with the model group, D. candidumcan inhibit ISO-induced ventricular pressure and ventricular hypertrophy, reduce myocardial collagen synthesis, improve myocardial fibrosis and ventricular remodeling, and significantly down-regulate ANP, BNP and cTN-I levels in plasma. This study shows that D. candidum has a protective effect on isoproterenol-induced cardiac hypertrophy.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: High-sensitivity cardiac troponin I (hs-cTnI) and the soluble isoform of suppression of tumorigenicity 2 (sST2) are useful prognostic biomarkers in acute coronary syndrome (ACS). The aim of this study was to test the short term prognostic value of sST2 compared with hs-cTnI in patients with chest pain. METHODS: Assays for hs-cTnI and sST2 were performed in 157 patients admitted to the Emergency Department (ED) for chest pain at arrival. In-hospital and 30-day follow-up mortalities were assessed. RESULTS: The incidence of ACS was 37%; 33 patients were diagnosed with ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), and 25 were diagnosed with non-ST elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI). Compared with the no acute coronary syndrome (NO ACS) group, the median level of hs-cTnI was higher in ACS patients: 7.22 (5.24-14) pg/mL vs 68 (15.33-163.50) pg/mL (P35 ng/mL at ED arrival died during the 30-day follow-up. CONCLUSIONS: sST2 has a greater prognostic value for 30-day cardiac mortality after discharge in patients presenting to the ED for chest pain compared with hs-cTnI. In STEMI patients, an sST2 value >35 ng/mL at ED arrival showed the highest predictive power for short-term mortality.

ABSTRACT

Objective To observe the effect of sevoflurane preconditioning on serum GDF-15,TNF-α, cTnI expression during perioperative period in patients in congenital heart diseases(CHD)with pulmonary artery hypertension(PAH),and to investigate the mechanism of myocardial protection. Methods Forty adult patients of CHD with PAH who received open-heart surgery under extracorporeal circulation were randomly divided into two groups(n=20):sevoflurane preconditioning group(Group S)and the control group(Group C). In the group S, 1MAC sevoflurane was inhaled for 20 min from beginning of operation ,and followed with oxygen elution for 10 min,in twice;only inhaling pure oxygen in the Group C. The artery blood samples were collected for measurements of serum GDF-15,TNF-α,cTnI immediately before anesthesia induction(T0),at 2 h(T1),12 h(T2),24 h (T3)after aorta declamping and 7 d(T4)after operation. The restoration of spontaneous heart beat ,reperfusion arrhythmia scores,preoperative and postoperative pulmonary artery systolic pressure were recorded. Results Com-pared with preoperative pumonary artery systolic pressure(PASP),it became low in the two groups at 7 days after operation(P<0.05);compared with the group C,the rate of restoration of spontaneous heart beat was promoted, and reperfusion arrhythmia scores were decreased in the group S(P<0.05);compared with the group C,GDF-15 were increased,TNF-α,cTnI were decreased in the group S at T1~3(P < 0.05);Compared with T0,GDF-15, TNF-α,cTnI were increased in the two groups at T1~3,GDF-15 in the two groups were decreased at T4(P <0.05). Conclusion Sevoflurane preconditioning may reduce inflammatory reaction during perioperative period in patients of CHD with PAH by promoting the expression of GDF-15,inhibiting the expression of TNF-α and then improve myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury.

ABSTRACT

Objective To examine the effects of exercise intensity and duration on the structure,function and fibrosis of the left and right ventricular,and to discuss the potential mechanism in these processes.Methods Forty-eight male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into a sedentary(Sed)group,a moderate exercise(ME)group and an intensive exercise(IE) group,each of 16.Rats in Sed group were not given any training,while those in ME group and IE group run on treadmill at the speed of 15.2 m/min with the slope gradient of 5° and 28 m/min with the slope gradient of 10 degree 1 hour per day,5 days per week.Eight and 16 weeks after the training,we recorded the body weight and measure end-diastolic diameter,end-diastolic wall thickness,and ejection fraction of both ventriculars using the ultrasonic testing.All rats were then sacrificed after blood sampling.Elisa was used to measure serum cTnI concentration,and sirius red staining was applied to evaluate collagen volume fraction of both ventriculars.Results Eight or sixteen weeks after the training,the average bi-ventricular end-diastolic diameter of ME and IE rats was bigger than Sed group.There were no differences in end-diastolic diameter of both ventricular between ME group and IE group after sixteen-week training,but the left ventricular end-diastolic diameter of IE group was greater than ME group.As exercise intensive increased and time accumulated,the end-diastolic wall thickness of both ventriculars increased but without statistical significance.At sixteen-week intervention,the bi-ventricular ejection fraction of IE rats was significantly lower than Sed and ME groups,while there was a decreasing trend eight weeks earlier without significant differences.After 8 or 16 weeks of training,the serum cTnI was significantly higher in IE rats than Sed group or ME group,but there was no significant differences between ME group and Sed group.After 16 weeks' exercises,the average bi-ventricular collagen volume fraction of ME or IE group was greater than that after 8 weeks' exercises.The average collagen volume fraction of the right ventricular was greater than Sed group at the same time points,and after sixteenweek training the right ventricular collagen volume fraction in IE group was significantly greater than ME group.However,there were no significant differences in the measurement of the left side among different groups.The serum cTnI was negatively correlated with the left and right ventricular systolic function(r=-0.327,P=0.029 and r=-0.582,P=0.000).Moreover,it was positively correlated with the right ventricular collagen volume fraction moderately,but had no correlation with the left ventricular collagen volume fraction.Conclusion(1)Sixteen-week moderate and intensive exercise result in left ventricular dilation,and the dilation increases with the increase of the exercise intensity.Only 8 weeks' exercise at the same intensity can lead to right ventricular dilation,but exercise intensity has little influence on the right ventricular dilation.(2)Long-term moderate or intensive endurance exercises may cause bi-ventricular hypertrophy potentially.The left ventricular hypertrophy and dilation may not be synchronous with hypertrophy followed by dilation,while the right ventricular hypertrophy and dilation is synchronous.(3)The temporary decrease in bi-ventricular systolic function after intensive endurance exercise may be caused by ventricular injury,with more serious injury in the right ventricular than in the left.Moderate exercises don't cause ventricular injury,thus there is little or no influence on ejection fraction.(4) Long-term (8 or 16 weeks)moderate or intensive endurance exercises can increase the right ventricular collagen volume fraction,which may indicate cardiac fibrosis following right ventricular injury but not in the left ventricular.The bi-ventricular collagen volume fraction at sixteenth week in ME and IE rats are greater than corresponding rats at eighth week.It may result from the hypertrophy of bi-ventricular cardiomyocyte after 8-week training,followed by increase in the extracellular matrix but not cardiac fibrosis.

ABSTRACT

Objective To explore the value of? red blood cell distribution width (RDW) changes in acute myocardial infarction (AMI) prognosis by analysing relationship between red blood cell distribution width, cardiac troponin I (cTnI) and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein. Methods 140 hospitalized patients with AMI were selected from May 2014 to October 2014 and devided into 2 groups. 70 patients without heart failure were AMI1 group and the other 70 patients with heart failure were AMI2 group. 70 cases of healthy persons were selected as control group. RDW was compared between three groups and the relationship between the level of RDW, cTnI and hs-CRP was analyzed. Evaluating value of RDW in predicting heart failure in AMI patients by using univariate logistic regression analysis and ROC curve analysis. Results In the comparison of AMI1 group, AMI2 group and control group, either of RDW, cTnI and hs-CRP showed a trend of increasing (P < 0.01). In the AMI patients , RDW level and cTnI level were positive correlation , and there was no linear correlation between RDW level and hs-CRP level. RDW≥14.55% was the independent risk factors in predicting heart failure in patients with AMI. Conclusion RDW≥14.55% can be an available independent predictor of the prognosis of AMI.

ABSTRACT

To establish a method to detect cardiac troponin I by using time-resolved fluoroimmunoassay ( TRFIA) and apply to the clinic.Methods:The assay were measured by TRIFA and double antibody sandwich method .Standard protocols were evaluated with the standard curve , the limit of detection , stability, precision and cross reaction .Healthy reference populations and clinical serum specimens were measured to established the reference interval and evaluated the perspective of the clinical application . Results:The standard curve was Y=7485 .878+1400.924 X with a correlation coefficient of 0.999.The limit of detection was 0.052 ng/ml.The intra-and inter-assay coefficients of variation ( CV) were all 0.05 ).There was significant difference in statistics compared before and after treatment with AMI ( P<0.001 ) .Conclusion: The TRFIA method for detecting cTnI achieves clinical application standards and may be used for the diagnosis and serosurveillance of acute myocardial infarction patients.

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the diagnostic accuracy and the clinical usefulness of the combination of troponin I (cTnI) and copeptin detected in patients with suspected non-ST elevation myocardial infarction. Methods 176 patients presenting to the emergency departments with chest chocking or chest pain within 6 hours and without ST elevation on a 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) were enrolled in this study. The level of copeptin and cTnI was measured. The diagnosis was adjudicated by 2 independent experts.The diagnostic performance of them was assessed using ROC analysis , and the sensitivity and specificity of them were inferred based on the positive rate of two cardiac markers. Results (1)The levels of copeptin and cTnI in NSTEMI patients were markedly higher than other groups (P<0.05).(2)The AUCs of copeptin and cTnI were 0.846 and 0.683, and the 95%CI of two markers were 0.786 ~ 0.906 and 0.577 ~ 0.789, respectively. (3)Using 10.85 pmol/L as cut off value,the sensitivity and specificity of copeptin were 90% and 64%,and the positive predictive value and the negative predictive valueof NSTEMI diagnose were 42.4% and 95.6%,respectively.Using 0.05 ng/mL as cut off value,the sensitivity and specificity of cTnI were 42.5% and 94.1%,the positive predictive value and the negative predictive value were 68%and 84.8% for diagnosis of NSTEMI. (4)The copeptin level over 10.85 pmol/L in combination with cTnI could be used to detect NSTEMI with higher sensitivity than that of copeptin or cTnI alone (95% vs 90% vs 42.5%). The negative predictive value of the combination of copeptin and cTnI was increased , compared to that of copeptin or cTnI alone (97.7% vs 95.6% vs 85.7%). Conclusions Determination of copeptin in addition to cTnI can improves diagnostic performance , especially early after chest pain onset. It seems to allow a rapid and reliable rule out of NSTEMI.

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the clinical significance of BNP, cTnI, T3 combined detection in elderly heart failure. Methods A total of 138 cases of elderly patients with heart failure (HF group) selected from October 2012 to December 2013 in our hospital were retrospectⅣe analyzed, according to the New York Heart Association (NYHA) classification standards will HF cardiac function of patients 60 cases of class Ⅱ, Ⅲ-Ⅳ grade 78 cases. The control group was 70 cases, were selected to our hospital for physical examination of healthy subjects on the same period with HF patients. BNP, cTnI, T3 were alone tested and joint detected. Results BNP, cTnI levels of NYHA Ⅱ level, NY-HAⅢ-Ⅳ-class before treatment were higher than the control group , T3 levels were lower than the control group;BNP, cTnI levels of NYHAⅢ-Ⅳ-class before treatment were higher than NYHA Ⅱ level, T3 levels were lower than NYHA Ⅱ level; BNP NYHAⅢ-Ⅳ level after treatment, cTnI levels before treatment appeared reduce, T3 levels ap-pear higher, the difference was significant (P<0.05). BNP+cTnI+T3 detect sensitⅣe were higher than BNP, cTnI, T3 alone testing, the difference was significant(P<0.05). Conclusion BNP, cTnI, T3 joint detection has high sensitⅣity for early diagnosis of HF has important significance.
