N2 - Objective: To investigate the ability of cardiac troponin I (cTnI) to predict functional recovery and left ventricular remodelling following primary percutaneous coronary intervention (pPCI) in ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Design: Post hoc study extending from randomised controlled trial. Patients: 132 patients with STEMI receiving pPCI. Main outcome measures: Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), end-diastolic and end-systolic volume index (EDVI and ESVI) and changes in these parameters from day 5 to 4 months after the index event. Methods: Cardiac magnetic resonance examination performed at 5 days and 4 months for evaluation of LVEF, EDVI and ESVI. cTnI was sampled at 24 and 48 h. Results: In linear regression models adjusted for early (5 days) assessment of LVEF, ESVI and EDVI, single-point cTnI at either 24 or 48 h were independent and strong predictors of changes in LVEF (p<0.01), EDVI (p<0.01) and ESVI (p<0.01) during the follow-up period. In a logistic regression analysis for prediction of an LVEF below 40% at 4 months, single-point cTnI significantly improved the prognostic strength of the model (area under the curve = 0.94, p<0.01) in comparison with the combination of clinical variables and LVEF at 5 days. Conclusion: Single-point sampling of cTnI after pPCI for STEMI provides important prognostic information on the time-dependent evolution of left ventricular function and volumes. Trial Reg No: The study was part of a randomised controlled trial http://www.clinicaltrials. gov; Unique identifier: NTC00326976.
