Biomarker?
• What is a biomarker?– An expensive lab test– Commonly Protein with levels that correspond to
• Diagnosis• Prognosis
– Most common method of measurement• ELISA

2000• Emergency docs– This crap is useless in almost all patients– Only helpful if positive
• Rarely positive, <5% of chest pain– The rest of chest pain requires other testing
• Cardiologists own troponin– Tactics-TIMI 18– IF it is detectable, it is an MI, otherwise forget it– If positive, don’t even bother thinking, just call the cath

ACEP Marker Recommendations
• Level A recommendations Don’t use markers to exclude non-AMI ACS (ie, unstable angina)
• Level B recommendations Use any of the following to exclude NSTEMI
• 8-12 hours after symptom onset– A single (-) CK-MB mass, TnI, or TnT
• Serial measures if < 8 hours after symptom onset– Baseline and 90 mins
» A (-) myoglobin with a (-) CKMB, or (-) Tn– (-) 2-hour delta
» CK-MB and Tn
Can you trust them?

2012• The decade of 2000-10 – Will be remembered as when the cardiologists owned troponin
• Used to be an MI marker– Those days are gone
• Emergency Medicine– Taking troponin back from the cardiologists!– IT IS NOT AN AMI MARKER ANYMORE
• Now it’s a 14 day death marker– I don’t care about 30 days or 180 days from now– I REALLY don’t care about a year from now
![Page 24: Cardiac Biomarkers W. Frank Peacock, M.D., FACEP Professor, Emergency Medicine Cleveland Clinic.](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022103004/56649cc05503460f949868bd/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Myocardial InfarctionIt’s a changing world
• An MI used to be– >40 and sweating with chest pain– Positive markers in 8-12 hours
• Now– It aint >40– It aint sweating– It aint even chest pain

Risk factors:
– Age 65 years
3 risk factors for CAD
– Prior coronary stenosis 50%
– ST-segment deviation on ECG
2 anginal events in last 24 hours
– Use of ASA in last 7 days
– Elevated serum cardiac markers CK-MB or troponin
Each risk factor is assigned 1 point, and the total represents a given patient’s TIMI Risk Score1
Event rates (all-cause mortality, MI, or urgent revascularization) increase with each 1-point increase in score (P<0.001 by chi square test for trend)1

ESC Guidelines
Due to improved analytical sensitivity, low troponin levels can be detected in stable angina and in healthy patients.
The mechanisms of this troponin release are not yet explained, but ANY measurable troponin is associated with an unfavourable prognosis.

The Now and Then of High Sensitivity Troponins
Last decade
• Detectable Tn– 99th %ile cutpoint
• Great specificity• Better sensitivity
– No real clinical disposition impact for the ER
• Serial testing of less necessary
Next decade
• Good bye specificity• 2 cutpoints?
• Second marker – copeptin, ST-2, MPO,
IMA, etc
• Hello sensitivity• Exclude ischemia?
• Challenges– The role of cardiology
consults– EDUCATION…………
![Page 43: Cardiac Biomarkers W. Frank Peacock, M.D., FACEP Professor, Emergency Medicine Cleveland Clinic.](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022103004/56649cc05503460f949868bd/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
So next time you want to get a troponin….
• Risk stratify (after decide it might be ACS)
• You want to send that patient home?– Put on your thinking cap!– AMI? Something else?
• Can always repeat
