High sensitivity troponin T and I reflect mitral annular plane systolic excursion being assessed by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

This study aims to evaluate the association between high sensitivity troponins (hsTn) and mitral annular plane systolic excursion (MAPSE) in patients undergoing cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (cMRI).

Methods

Patients undergoing cMRI were prospectively enrolled. Patients with right ventricular dysfunction (< 50%) were excluded. Blood samples for measurements of hsTn and amino-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) were collected at the time of cMRI.

Results

84 patients were included. Median left ventricular ejection fraction was 59% (IQR 51-64%). HsTn were correlated inversely with MAPSE within multivariable linear regression models (hsTnI: Beta - 0.19; T - 1.96; p = 0.05; hsTnT: Beta - 0.26; T - 3.26; p = 0.002). HsTn increased significantly ac
