Storage conditions, sample integrity, interferences, and a decision tool for investigating unusual high-sensitivity cardiac troponin results

Matthew A. Lafreniere et al.

Summary: The current definition and usage of high-sensitivity cardiac troponin (hs-cTn) assays have drawn significant attention in the literature due to the different algorithms and pathways used for patient care. This literature review focuses on the impact of pre-analytical conditions and interferences on hs-cTn concentrations and provides a breakdown of studies conducted by major diagnostic companies. It highlights the importance of pre-analytical variables in interpreting hs-cTn assays and suggests the need for further studies in this area.

Methods for analyzing positive cardiac troponin assay interference

Ola Hammarsten et al.

Summary: This study compared four methods for analyzing interference in cTnI assays and found that the protein G spin column method had high variability but was still able to identify all cases of cTnI interference. The sucrose gradient ultracentrifugation methods and gel filtration method had similar performance and correctly identified the immunocomplexes causing cTnI interference.

Skeletal Muscle Disorders: A Noncardiac Source of Cardiac Troponin T

Jeanne du Fay de Lavallaz et al.

Summary: This study aimed to confirm the cardiac specificity of cTnT in patients with various skeletal muscle disorders (SMDs). The results showed that elevations in cTnT concentrations in patients with active chronic SMDs are common and not attributable to cardiac disease, while this phenomenon was not observed for cTnI. The re-expression of cTnT in skeletal muscle may partially explain this.

High incidence of discrepancies in new Siemens assay - A comparison of cardiac troponin I assays

Rasmus Bo Hasselbalch et al.

Summary: The hs-cTnI assay showed comparable diagnostic accuracy to the cTnI-U assay for diagnosing myocardial infarction, but measured higher concentrations. This resulted in a higher frequency of acute myocardial injury. A subset of patients had significantly elevated hs-cTnI concentrations without any evidence of heterophilic antibodies.

Effect of Macrotroponin in a Cohort of Community Patients with Elevated Cardiac Troponin

Leo Lam et al.

Summary: Macrotroponin is associated with multifactorial or indeterminate causes of troponin elevation in community patients. Better diagnostic performance was observed in patients without macrotroponin when repeat testing was conducted using different hs-cTnI assays. Participants with macrotroponin had better overall survival.

Summary: In patients presenting to the ED with chest pain but without a diagnosis of ACS, elevated cTnI levels were shown to be more strongly associated with a worse prognosis in non-ACS patients compared to ACS patients.

Early Rule-Out Strategies in the Emergency Department Utilizing High-Sensitivity Cardiac Troponin Assays

Pedro Lopez-Ayala et al.

Summary: Over the past decade, collaboration between academic investigators and the diagnostic industry has allowed high-sensitivity cardiac troponin assays to be integrated into clinical practice worldwide, particularly in the early rule-out of AMI. The latest simplified algorithms based on hs-cTn concentrations have significantly improved diagnostic accuracy, allowing for safe and effective rule-out or rule-in of AMI in more patients.

Julien Favresse et al.

Summary: Cardiac troponins play a key role in diagnosing MI, but interference can lead to misdiagnosis. False positive and false negative results are related to antibody interference and biotin intake, with non-reproducible results and outliers also reported.

Summary: The study identified four cases of macro-cTnT with persistently low hs-cTnT levels, characterized by differences in recovery with mixing studies using recombinant cTnT or EDTA. One patient demonstrated a high molecular weight complex involving both cTnI and cTnT, showing consistent results of acute cardiac injury across multiple commercial assays.

Summary: The study found that patients with macrotroponin have relatively favorable long-term all-cause and cardiovascular mortality in a cohort of patients with elevated troponin. This highlights the importance of recognizing that troponin results are composed of heterogeneous components.

Heterophile antibodies, false-positive troponin, and acute coronary syndrome: a case report indicating a pitfall in clinical practice

Nenad Lakusic et al.

Summary: This case serves as a reminder for clinicians to be cautious of false-positive troponin levels caused by laboratory interference from heterophile antibodies. Even when coronary artery disease is present, suspicion of troponin elevation as false-positive should be considered. The less recognized cause of troponin elevation may lead to unnecessary invasive diagnostics and aggressive treatment of patients.
