Acute Myocardial Infarction Clinical Trial
Official title:
Time Gain of Pre-hospital Troponin Point of Care Testing in the Diagnosis of an Acute Myocardial Infarction
Thoracic pain can be caused by a life threatening disease as for instance a heart attack. Fast diagnosis and treatment is necessary for an advantageous clinical outcome. When a patient enters the emergency unit, an electrocardiogram (ECG) can diagnose a heart attack by recording the electrical activity of the patients' heart. However, an increasing number of patients with an acute myocardial infarction (AMI) are presenting without significant abnormalities on ECG In the latter group, diagnosis is dependent of elevated biochemical markers of myocardiocyte necrosis in the blood such as troponin. Generally, troponins are determined in blood and are analyzed by radiometry or at the hospital's laboratory. Time loss in the acquisition of troponin levels can occur during the workflow due to blood sampling difficulties, transport of the blood samples, processing in the laboratory, and processes inherent to the measuring assays. Roche developed a portable point-of-care (POC) device that determines troponin-T in a few minutes by using small volumes of the patient's blood with the added value that this device can be used in a pre-hospital setting which might save a significant amount of time in determining troponin levels.In this way, a faster diagnosis of AMI can be made improving patients' outcome.
In this prospective pilot study, 70 patients will be recruited over a time period of one year, with non-traumatic thoracic pain in a pre-hospital setting. While the ambulance or MUG is transporting such a patient, he/she is asked (informed consent) if an extra blood sample can be taken for measuring troponin levels by the portable device of Roche (cobas h232®). This can be done during the same venipuncture needed for standard-of-care analysis of the two other blood samples used for troponin-T by the radiometer and the laboratory. An ECG is performed in the ambulance and when it is positive, a patient is diagnosed immediately with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and will be to transported as fast as possible to the coronary care unit. The blood samples retrieved in the ambulance are transported to the lab and to the table top radiometer in the emergency unit. As stated before, an increasing number of patients with AMI are presenting without significant abnormalities on ECG. Therefore, the troponin-T levels in the blood sample will provide extra information to make an appropriate diagnosis. It is our hypothesis, that the Cobas h232 device will provide faster results and thus a faster diagnosis of AMI which benefit patients' outcome. ;
