Abstract

Background: A perioperative myocardial infarction(PMI) is one of the major complications after CABG. Among diagnostic methods of PMI, CK-MB activity assays have been increasingly replaced by CK-MB mass assays, which have more sensitive, simple measurement. Also, new cardiac-specific and -sensitive marker, cardiac troponin I(cTnl), has been shown to be a marker of myocardial infarction. We report our evaluation of clinical significance of CK-MB mass and cTnl as a marker of PMI after CABG. Material and Method: We studied 32 patients who underwent CABG at Kangdong Sacred Hospital between April 2000 and April 2001. Postoperative serum CK-MB activity level, serum CK-MB mass, cTnl, electrocardiogram, echocardiogram, and clinical data were recorded prospectively The diagnosis of PMI was defined as positive 2 among 3 or all of the following , by a new Q wave on the electrocardiogram, by serum CK-MB activity higher than 200 lU/L within 72 hours after operation, and by new regional wall motion abnormality on the echocardiogram. Result: After CABG, 3 patients had sustained a PMI according to current diagnostic criteria. As serum CK-MB activity time course, a level of CK-MB activity 12 hours after CABG had very linear correlated significance with serum CK-MB mass 24hours(R=0.946) and cTnl 48 hours(R=0.933) after CABG(p=0.000). As we used a receiver operating characteristics curve(ROC curve) for a diagnostic cutoff value in patients with PMI, serum CK-MB mass levels higher than 30.05 ug/L 24 hours after CABG detected the presence of PMI with an area under the ROC curve of 1.0, a sensitivity of 100%, a specificity of 100%, a positive predictive value of 100%, and a negative predictive value of 100%. Also serum cTnl levels higher than 17.15 ug/L 48 hours after CABG detected the presence of PMI with an area under the ROC curve of 0.98, a sensitivity of 100%, a specificity of 96.6%, a positive preclictive value of 75%, and a negative predictive value of 100% Conclusion: We concluded that both the measurement of CK-MB mass and cTnl are the easier, accurate methods as a diagnostic marker of PMT after CABG, also as a proposal of diagnostic cutoff value enables to an early detection of PMI. However, a 1arger number of patient will be needed because of statistic limitation that a small number of participating patients, a small number of PMI.

배경: 술후 심근경색(perioperative myocardial infarction;PMI)은 관상동맥 우회술 후 중요한 합병증 중 하나이다. PMI의 진단 방법 중 CK-MB 활성도(CK-MB activity) 측정보다 민감하고, 간단한 측정 방법을 가진 CK-MB 농도(CK-MB mass)의 측정으로 점차 대체되고 있다. 또한, cardiac troponin I(cTnl)는 심근경색의 표지자로 민감도와 특이도가 가장 높은 것으로 소개되고 있다. 본 연구는 관상동맥 우회술 후 심근경색의 표지자로서 CK-MB농도와 cTnl의 임상적 의의성에 대한 평가를 보고하고자 한다. 대상 및 방법: 2000년 4월부터 2001년 4월까지 강동성심병원에서 관상동맥 우회술을 받은 32명의 환자를 대상으로 하였다. 술후 CK-MB 활성도, CK-MB농도, cTnl, 심전도, 심초음파, 임상적 자료를 전향적으로 기록하였다. 술후 심근경색의 진단은 심전도에서 새로운 Q파 출현, CK-MB 활성도가 72시간안에 200 lU/L 이상, 심초음파에서 심근벽의 새로운 심근벽 운동이상 등의 3가지 중 2가지 이상인 경우로 정의하였다 결과: 관상동맥 우회술 후 3례에서 진단 기준에 부합된 경우였다. 시간 경과에 따라, 술후 12시간의 CK-MB활성도와 술후 24시간의 CK-MB농도(R=0.946), 술후 48시간의 cTnl(R=0.933)는 매우 상관성이 있었다(p=0.000). PM의 진단기준치를 찾기 위해 ROC(receiver operating characteristics) 곡선을 이용하였으며, PMI의 환자중 술후 24시간에서 CK-MB 농도가 30.05 ug/L보다 높은 측정값에서 PMI를 발견할 수 있었고, 이 때의 ROC 곡선의 하단 단면적은 1이었으며, 민감도 100%, 특이도 100%, 양성 예측도 100%, 음성 예측도 100% 이었다. cTnI의 경우 술후 48시간에서 17.15ug/L보다 높은 측정값에서 PMI를 발견할 수 있었고, 이 때의 ROC 곡선의 하단 단면적은 0.98이었으며, 민감도 100%, 특이도 96.6%, 양성 예측도 75%, 음성 예측도 100% 이었다. 결론: 관상동맥 우회술 후 심근경색의 진단적 표지자로서 CK-MB농도와 cTnl의 측정은 간단하고 정확한 방법으로 판단되며, 진단기준치를 제시함으로서 술후 심근경색의 조기 발견을 가능하게 할 수 있을 것이라 생각된다. 그러나 본 연구에서는 대상환자 수가 적었고, 적은 수의 환자에서 심근경색이 발생하여 통계적인 제한이 있을 수 있어 향후 더 많은 대상의 수가 필요할 것으로 사료된다.
