Prevalence and Prognostic Association of Circulating Troponin in the Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Circulating cardiac troponin has been associated with adverse prognosis in the acute respiratory distress syndrome in small and single-center studies; however, comprehensive studies of myocardial injury in acute respiratory distress syndrome using modern high-sensitivity troponin assays, which can detect troponin at much lower circulating concentrations, have not been performed.

Design

We performed a prospective cohort study.

Setting

We included patients enrolled in previously completed trials of acute respiratory distress syndrome.

Patients

One thousand fifty-seven acute respiratory distress syndrome patients were included.

Interventions

To determine the association of circulating high-sensitivity troponin I (Abbott ARCHITECT), with acute resp
