چکیده    Although the diagnostic accuracy and prognostic utility of vasodilator stress mpi have been well established in the non-acute setting, the efficacy of all of the vasodilator stressors in risk stratifying post-mi patients as well as the evaluation of cardiac troponin elevation of unclear etiology is not established. accordingly, the aim of the present study was to investigate the prognostic efficacy of vasodilator stress mpi in the setting of elevated cardiac troponin to accurately risk stratify these higher-risk patients. all patients from two tertiary centers, from 1/1/2010 through 12/31/2012, with elevated cardiac biomarkers within < 7 days and undergoing stress spect mpi testing were studied. results of stress mpi were scored using a 17-segment model based on semiquantitative scoring as normal or abnormal (mild, moderate, or severe) using a total perfusion defect (tpd) of 0%, 1-10%, 10-20%, and > 20%. mortality data through the year 2014 were obtained from the national death index, and survival analyses were performed. the primary endpoint was all-cause mortality with the secondary endpoint being cardiac mortality. a total of 503 patients were followed for an average of 33.6 ± 16.2 months, with a mean age of 69.3 years; 53.7% male; and a majority (88.7%) of them undergoing vasodilator stress. a significant increase in all-cause mortality was seen based on the severity of tpd results for all vasodilators (p < .0001) and regadenoson (p < .0001). similar prognostic ability was seen for all-cause mortality. this association was maintained even after adjustment for cardiac risk factors, previous coronary disease, and troponin quartiles. mpi results (stress tpd and lvef) added to traditional cardiac risk factors, and troponin values resulted in a significant incremental increase in the ability to predict all-cause and cardiac mortality, and stress tpd remained independently predictive for both all-cause and cardiac mortality in a multivariate model. vasodilator stress (including regadenoson) mpi effectively risk stratifies patients with recently elevated cardiac biomarkers, with the increasing risk of mortality with the increasing severity of perfusion defects. it provides incremental prognostic value, in addition to clinical factors and degree of troponin elevation.
