title: High-Sensitive Troponin T and N-Terminal Pro B-Type Natriuretic Peptide for Early Detection of Stress-Induced Cardiomyopathy in Patients with Subarachnoid Hemorrhage.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Patients developing stress-induced cardiomyopathy (SIC) after subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) have increased risk of vasospasm, delayed cerebral ischemia and death. We evaluated whether high-sensitive troponin T (hsTnT) and N-terminal pro B-type natriuretic peptide (NTproBNP) are useful biomarkers for early detection of SIC after SAH.
  
  
  METHODS
  Medical records of all patients admitted to our NICU with suspected or verified SAH from January 2010 to August 2014 were reviewed. Patients in whom echocardiography was performed and blood samples for measurements of hsTnT and/or NTproBNP were obtained, within 72 and 48 h, respectively, after onset of symptoms, were included. SIC was defined as reversible left ventricular segmental hypokinesia diagnosed by echocardiography.
  
  
  RESULTS
  A total of 502 SAH patients were admitted during the study period, 112 patients fulfilled inclusion criteria and 25 patients fulfilled SIC criteria. Peak levels of hsTnT and NTproBNP were higher in patients with SIC (p < 0.001). hsTnT had its peak on admission, while NTproBNP peaked at days 2-4 after onset of symptoms. A hsTnT > 89 ng/l or a NTproBNP > 2,615 ng/l obtained within 48 h after onset of symptoms had a sensitivity of 100% and a specificity of 79% in detecting SIC.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The cardiac biomarkers, hsTnT and NTproBNP, are increased early after SAH and levels are considerably higher in patients with SIC. These biomarkers are useful for screening of SIC, which could make earlier diagnosis and treatment of SIC in SAH patients possible.
