Cardiac Troponins for the Diagnosis of Acute Myocardial Infarction in Chronic Kidney Disease

2018

Background Patients with chronic kidney disease ( CKD ) are at high risk of myocardial infarction. Cardiac troponins are the biomarkers of choice for the diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction ( AMI ) without ST ‐segment elevation ( NSTE ). In patients with CKD , troponin levels are often chronically elevated, which reduces their diagnostic utility when NSTE ‐ AMI is suspected. The aim of this study was to derive a diagnostic algorithm for serial troponin measurements in patients with CKD and suspected NSTE ‐ AMI . Methods and Results Two cohorts, 1494 patients from a prospective cohort study with high‐sensitivity troponin I (hs‐ cTnI ) measurements and 7059 cases from a clinical registr…
