Abstract:
BACKGROUND:An association between paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardias (PSVT) and elevated cardiac troponin I (cTnI) has been reported in small studies, even in the absence of significant coronary artery or structural heart disease. We sought to explore the prognostic significance of elevated cTnI among patients presenting with PSVT. METHODS:This is a retrospective single-center observational study conducted between January 2014 and Decemebr 2016. 165 patients (60% men, mean age 55 ± 17 year-old) with an acute episode of regular supraventricular tachyarrhythmia were admitted to the emergency department at Rambam Medical Center. 131 patients had at least one serum cTnI value measured. Of those, 57 had a positive result, defined as serum cTnI of more than 0.028 ng/dL. RESULTS:Multivariate analysis showed that heart rate > 150 beats per minute (bpm) on admission (OR = 3.9; 95% CI 1.1.6-9.5; p < 0.003) and history of coronary artery disease (CAD) (OR = 3.4; 95% CI 1.2-10.1; p = 0.026) were the only independent predictors of cTnI elevation. After mean follow-up period of 23 ± 7 months, the combined primary outcome of death, coronary intervention (PCI) or myocardial infarction (MI) occurred in 7 patients (12.3%) out of 57 patients with positive cTnI and in zero patients with negative cTn (p = 0.002). Cox proportional hazard model showed that elevated cTnI on admission was an independent predictor of adverse outcomes only in patients with known coronary artery disease (CAD) (HR = 3.3, p = 0.05). CONCLUSION:Elevated cTnI among patients presenting with PSVT appears to have prognostic significance only in patients with history of CAD. In this patient group elevated cTnI is associated with increased risk of adverse cardiac outcomes. We therefore believe serum cTnI should be measured selectively, such as in patients with symptoms of ischemic chest pain and a high pretest likelihood of having CAD.
