Predictive value of hs-cTnI for major adverse cardiovascular events in patients with acute myocardial infarction
Objective This study aimed to investigate the correlation between dynamic changes in high-sensitivity cardiac troponin I (hs-cTnI) and clinical outcomes in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI)
with a focus on evaluating its predictive value for major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) to provide evidence for clinical risk stratification. Methods A single-center retrospective cohort study was conducted
enrolling 120 AMI patients diagnosed between January 2021 and December 2023. Patients were divided into a MACE group (
n
=52) and a non-MACE group (
n
=68) based on the occurrence of MACE. Baseline hs-cTnI
peak levels
Δhs-cTnI
and time-to-peak were analyzed. Potential influencing factors were initially screened using univariate analysis
followed by multivariate logistic regression to adjust for confounding variables. The diagnostic accuracy of each factor was evaluated using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves
while Kaplan-Meier survival analysis was employed to compare differences in clinical outcomes. Results The MACE group had significantly higher baseline hs-cTnI (≥0.25 ng/mL) and peak levels (≥1.8 ng/mL) compared to the non-MACE group (both
2.444~18.624) as independent predictors of MACE. ROC curve analysis showed that the combined model had the highest predictive efficacy (AUC=0.882
95%
CI
0.819~0.946). Survival analysis revealed that patients in the high baseline hs-cTnI group had significantly higher incidence of MACE both during hospitalization (short-term
49.02%
vs.
14.49%) and over the follow-up period of≥12 month (long-term
25.49%
vs.
5.80%) Compared to the low-level group (all
P
<
0.05). Conclusions Baseline and peak hs-cTnI levels have significant predictive value for MACE in AMI patients. Combining these with infarct size further improves risk assessment accuracy
aiding in early identification of high-risk patients and optimization of intervention strategies.
