Implication

May support cTnI as myocardial injury marker in thrombolysis-treated AMI; hypothesis-generating, should not yet change practice.

Structured PICO

Population

16 patients with first attack of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) within 6 hours of chest pain, mean age 63.6±11.5 years, 11 men and 5 women. All received thrombolytic therapy with reperfusion confirmed by coronary angiography.

Intervention

Serial measurement of serum cardiac troponin I (cTnI) and CK-MB at 4-h intervals during the first 24 h, 12-h intervals until 48 h, and 24-h intervals until fourth days after hospitalization, along with echocardiography.

Outcome

Correlation of peak and cumulative cTnI concentrations with CK-MB levels and echocardiographic parameters (ejection fraction and wall motion score index).surrogate

In patients with AMI undergoing thrombolysis, serial cTnI measurements correlate strongly with CK-MB levels, and cumulative cTnI correlates with echocardiographic wall motion score index, supporting its utility as a marker of myocardial injury.
