Copeptin studies in populations with high MI prevalence

Study MI prevalence Troponin assay Copeptin assay NPVa Comments
Afzali et al. [16•] CPU population (single center). AMI 46.5 %(107/230), NSTEMI 36.1 % (83/230) TnI-Ultra (Siemens Healthcare) cutoff <0.04 ng/ml (99th percentile) Copeptin KRYPTOR (Thermo Fisher B·R·A·H·M·S) <14 pmol/l 97.3 % 13 % of patients with a GRACE score greater than 140. Onset of symptoms after more than 12 h in 37.8 % of patients
Sukul et al. [17•] Single-center study, setting not reported. AMI 25.7 % (104/405), NSTEMI 22.4 % (91/405) Local cTnI (Centaur, Siemens Healthcare)cutoff 100 ng/l. Sensitive cTnI (TnI-Ultra, Siemens Healthcare) cutoff 40 ng/l (99th percentile) Copeptin KRYPTOR (Thermo Fisher B·R·A·H·M·S) 14 pmol/l cTnI alone 92 % (89-95 %), sensitive TnI alone 98 % (95-99 %), sensitive TnI plus copeptin 97 % (94-99 %) (for all AMI). In early presenters (<6 h), sensitive TnI 100 % (96-100 %), sensitive TnI plus copeptin 100 % (95-100 %) No analysis of NSTEMI patients only
