Optimal cut-off value of high-sensitivity troponin I in diagnosing myocardial infarction in patients with end-stage renal disease.

ABSTRACT: End-stage renal disease (ESRD) is a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease and the prognosis after myocardial infarction (MI) is dismal. Although cardiac troponin is a key diagnostic test, troponin levels are often elevated in ESRD patients without evidence of MI. Thus, this study attempted to determine the optimal diagnostic value of high-sensitivity troponin I (hsTnI) by dialysis modality in ESRD patients.Medical records of adult dialysis patients who visited tertiary emergency department (ED) were collected retrospectively. Diagnosis of MI was made according to the fourth universal definition of MI. The cut-off values were calculated using a receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve.Medical records of 1144 patients were analyzed and MI was diagnosed in 82 patients (75 on hemod
