Impact of Cardiac Troponin Elevation on Mortality of Patients with Acute Heart Failure: Insights from the Korea Acute Heart Failure (KorAHF) Registry.

ABSTRACT: We aimed to conduct the largest study evaluating the impact of cardiac troponin (TnI) status on mid- and long-term mortality in patients admitted for acute heart failure (AHF) as compared between patients with ischemic (IHF) vs. non-ischemic heart failure (non-IHF). Among 5625 patients from the Korea Acute Heart Failure (KorAHF) registry, 4396 eligible patients with TnI measurement were analyzed. The patients were included on admission with the diagnosis of AHF, and TnI level was measured on the day of admission. A TnI value of <0.05 ng/mL was considered normal. The patients were divided into four groups according to the etiology of heart failure and the status of TnI: non-IHF with normal TnI (n = 1009) vs. non-IHF with elevated TnI (n = 1665) vs. IHF with normal TnI (n
