The Prognostic Value of Cardiac Troponin in a Revascularized Cohort with First-Time Myocardial Infarction.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

The prognostic value of cardiac troponins in revascularized patients with myocardial infarction (MI) is uncertain. This study examined the relationship between peak troponin levels and adverse outcomes in a revascularized cohort from the Multi-Ethnic New Zealand Study of Acute Coronary Syndromes (MENZACS).

Methods

MENZACS enrolled patients with a first-time acute coronary syndrome from 2015 to 2019. Peak high sensitivity troponin was standardized by dividing the observed peak troponin by the upper limit of normal. The primary outcome was a composite of all-cause death or cardiovascular readmission, determined through national datasets. Troponin's relationship with outcomes was analysed using penalized spline Cox regression.

Results

Among 1,645 revasculari
