Cardiac biomarkers, particularly high-sensitivity cardiac troponin (hs-cTn) and N-terminal pro–B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP), may help identify patients at low or high risk for ATTR-CM.</div></div><div><h3>Objectives</h3><div>The authors sought to evaluate the predictive value of hs-cTnT and NT-proBNP in patients undergoing <sup>99m</sup>Tc PYP imaging for suspected ATTR-CM in a large U.S. cohort.</div></div><div><h3>Methods</h3><div>This was a retrospective study of patients who underwent <sup>99m</sup>Tc PYP imaging between May 2013 and September 2022, including those with at least 1 hs-cTnT measurement within 6 months of the scan.</div></div><div><h3>Results</h3><div>ATTR-CM was diagnosed in 427 of 1,442 patients (29.6%). A hs-cTnT level <6 ng/L (n = 50, 3.5%) showed a negative predictive value of 100% (95% CI: 93%-100%) and sensitivity of 100% (95% CI: 99%-100%) for ruling out ATTR-CM. As the hs-cTnT threshold increased, the number of patients who could be ruled out also increased, but false negatives emerged. The positive predictive value for ruling in ATTR-CM remained low. NT-proBNP showed similar results (n = 1,378). The combination of hs-cTnT <14 ng/L and NT-proBNP <60 ng/L identified 45 patients (3.3%) without ATTR-CM.</div></div><div><h3>Conclusions</h3><div>In patients undergoing <sup>99m</sup>Tc PYP imaging for suspected ATTR-CM, very low hs-cTnT levels can effectively rule out the diagnosis, although in a small subset of patients. Higher thresholds increase the risk of false negatives. NT-proBNP and combined biomarker strategies showed similar trends, the utility of hs-cTnT and NT-proBNP for ruling in the disease is limited.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48499,"journal":{"name":"Jacc: Cardiooncology","volume":"7 1","pages":"Pages 70-78"},"PeriodicalIF":12.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11781999/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143081651","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
