Abstract:
Objective To investigate the diagnostic threshold value and the influencing factors of high‐sensitivity troponin I measurement in the diagnosis of patients with acute myocardial infarction .Methods Collecting 9 236 patients who are the first time hs‐cTnI testing in the internal emergency department of our hospital(including 9 099 patients with non‐AMI and 137 patients with AMI) as participants ,then dividing non‐AMI patients into elder group(>60 years old) and younger group(≤60 years old) ,hs‐cTnI concentrations were compared between the elder and the younger group with different gender .The optimal threshold value of hs‐cT‐nI for acute myocardial infarction was determined by receiver operating characteristic(ROC) curve of AMI patients with different age and gender .Results The hs‐cTnI concentrations of non‐AMI patients in the elder male group were 39 .21 ng/L [(37 .48-40 .93)ng/L] ,which was higher than those of non‐AMI patients in the younger male group 22 .38 ng/L[(21 .16-23 .6)ng/L] and the difference was statistically significant(P<0 .05) ,the same result was seen in the elder female group and the younger female group .The total male group was 31 .26 ng/L [(30 .17 -32 .34)ng/L] ,it was higher than the total female group 26 .8 ng/L [(25 .73-27 .86)ng/L] .According to the ROC curve ,the optimal threshold value for AMI diagnosis was 45 ng/L in total AMI group and 135 ng/L in the elder male group and 45 ng/L in the elder female group ,which was different with the cut off value(120 ng/L) .Conclusion the hs‐cTnI levels were related with age and gender ,it is very important for us to consider these factors when we make the optimal threshold value with our own data .
