• Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging Study for Quantification of Infarct Size Comparing Directly Serial Versus Single Time-Point Measurements of Cardiac Troponin T Evangelos Giannitsis, Henning Steen, Kerstin Kurz, Boris Ivandic, Anke C. Simon, Simon Futterer, Christian Schild, Peter Isfort, Allan S. Jaffe, Hugo A. Katus We compared single-point versus serial cardiac troponin T (cTnT) measurements after acute myocardial infarction in 61 patients. Single-point, peak, and integrated area under the curve (AUC) cTnT values were plotted against contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging infarct mass. Except for admission cTnT, all single-point values on any of the first 4 days, peak-cTnT and AUC cTnT correlated comparably well with infarct mass. Day-4 cTnT showed the highest correlation and performed similarly to peak-cTnT or AUC cTnT. All single-point cTnTs, except admission-cTnTs, give a good estimation of infarct size and performed as well as peak-cTnT or AUC cTnT. Particularly, Day-4 cTnT may gain clinical acceptance because the measurement is easy and inexpensive.
