Cardiac Troponin I Reveals Diagnostic and Prognostic Superiority to Aminoterminal Pro-B-Type Natriuretic Peptide in Sepsis and Septic Shock.

ABSTRACT: Data regarding the prognostic value of cardiac biomarkers in patients suffering from sepsis or septic shock is scarce. Studies investigating the prognostic role of cardiac biomarkers in patients with sepsis and septic shock were commonly published prior to the sepsis-3 criteria and were often not restricted to septic patients only, too. This study investigated the diagnostic and prognostic value of the aminoterminal pro-B-type Natriuretic Peptide (NT-pro BNP) and cardiac troponin I (cTNI) in patients with sepsis and septic shock. Consecutive patients with sepsis and septic shock were included from 2019 to 2021. Blood samples were retrieved from the day of disease onset (i.e., day 1), day 2 and 3. Firstly, the diagnostic value of the NT-pro BNP and cTNI to diagnose sepsis or septic shock wa
