Abstract

Background: Acute heart failure (AHF) is a common presentation in the Emergency Department (ED), and most patients are admitted to the hospital. Identification of patients with AHF who have a low risk of adverse events and are suitable for discharge from the ED is difficult, and an objective tool would be useful.

Methods: The highly sensitive Troponin T Rules Out Acute Cardiac Insufficiency Trial (TACIT) will enroll ED patients being treated for AHF. Patients will undergo standard ED evaluation and treatment. High-sensitivity troponin T (hsTnT) will be drawn at the time of enrollment and 3 hours after the initial draw. The initial hsTnT draw will be no more than 3 hours after initiation of therapy for AHF (vasodilator, loop diuretic, noninvasive ventilation). Treating clinicians will be blinded to hsTnT results. We will assess whether hsTnT, as a single measurement or in series, can accurately predict patients at low risk of short-term adverse events.

Conclusion: TACIT will explore the value of hsTnT measurements in isolation, or in combination with other markers of disease severity, for the identification of ED patients with AHF who are at low risk of short-term adverse events.

高敏感性肌钙蛋白T排除急性心功能不全试验的设计和基本原理。
背景:急性心力衰竭(AHF)是急诊科(ED)的常见表现,大多数患者住院。鉴别不良事件风险低、适合从急诊科出院的AHF患者是困难的,一个客观的工具将是有用的。方法:高度敏感的肌钙蛋白T排除急性心功能不全试验(TACIT)将招募因AHF治疗的ED患者。患者将接受标准的ED评估和治疗。高灵敏度肌钙蛋白T (hsTnT)将在入组时和首次抽取3小时后抽取。AHF治疗(血管扩张剂、利尿剂、无创通气)开始后不超过3小时进行初始hsTnT检查。治疗临床医生将对hsTnT结果不知情。我们将评估hsTnT作为单一测量或串联测量是否可以准确预测低风险短期不良事件的患者。结论:TACIT将探索hsTnT测量单独或与其他疾病严重程度标志物结合的价值,以识别短期不良事件风险低的AHF ED患者。

期刊介绍: Pragmatic and Observational Research is an international, peer-reviewed, open-access journal that publishes data from studies designed to closely reflect medical interventions in real-world clinical practice, providing insights beyond classical randomized controlled trials (RCTs). While RCTs maximize internal validity for cause-and-effect relationships, they often represent only specific patient groups. This journal aims to complement such studies by providing data that better mirrors real-world patients and the usage of medicines, thus informing guidelines and enhancing the applicability of research findings across diverse patient populations encountered in everyday clinical practice.
