Myocardial Infarction and Chest Pain
in the Emergency Room
• 1,100,000 MI per year in the US
About 1/3 will die from their MI *
• 6,200,000 people in the United States suffer
from angina
• 5,000,000 patients are evaluated in ER for
chest pain each year

Pilot phase
• To determine safety, feasibility, and logistic issues:
• 37 patients presenting with chest pain to the ER were studied.
– Patients were either from the ER or within 72 hours of admission to
the hospital.
» Well tolerated (1 failure to acquire any image due to
clasutophobia)
» 13 cases of AMI with a wide range of troponins all have
abnormal MRI
» Can perform MRI while receiving concurrent IV meds.
Case 1: 60 yo male
Day 2 post acute MI
Troponin 2X ULN
Case 2: 80 yo female
No prior CAD
Chest pain with non-diagnostic EKG admitted 12
hours ago, small NQMI by troponin
Case 2: 70 yo male
No prior CAD
Chest pain with non-diagnostic EKG admitted 12
hours ago, small NQMI by troponin

Method: Prospectively Defined Clinical Endpoints
Acute coronary syndrome (ACS):
Possible or definite ACS according to ACC/AHA
guidelines
Method: Prospectively Defined Clinical Endpoints
Acute coronary syndrome (ACS):
Possible or definite ACS according to ACC/AHA guidelines as
indicated by chest pain > 30 minutes (an entry criteria) AND
either angiographically significant CAD AND/OR significantly
abnormal stress testing performed during index hospitalization
or the subsequent 6- 8 week follow-up period.
Non-ST elevation acute myocardial infarction
(NSTEMI):
Abnormal troponin-I with a temporal pattern consistent with
acute MI and clinical evidence of coronary artery disease
(Coronary angiography, echo, or noninvasive imaging).
Method: Definitions
Angiographically significant CAD =
1) > 50% left main lesion
or 2) > 70% epicardial coronary artery stenosis
Method: Prospectively Defined Abnormal MRI
Abnormal defined by either:
• Regional wall motion abnormality (RWMA), or
• Myocardial hyperenhancement (Hyper).
Reading included perfusion images:
• Although independent diagnoses were not made using
perfusion alone, the perfusion images helped identify
abnormal regions.

Comprehensive Approach to Chest Pain:
MRI: Does It Have Any Role?
• ST Elevation MI
• Post-MI risk stratification
• Detection of residual ischemia
• Viability
• Non-ST elevation MI
• Same as ST elevation MI
• Also potential for more rapid diagnosis
• Unstable angina
• Early rest scan to detect evidence of recent ischemia
• Alternatively, scan after excluding MI with a stress test
Conclusions
• Use of cardiac MRI in the ER in assessment of patients
presenting with chest pain and a non-diagnostic ECG is
feasibility and safe.
• Cardiac MRI has high sensitivity and specificity for detecting
ACS, NSTEMI, and IHD in patients with chest pain, and
could provide useful diagnostic information beyond clinical
assessment.
• MRI parameters could be interpreted both qualitatively and
quantitatively with high accuracy in prediction of clinical
endpoints
• Further work is needed to differentiate acute from chronic
myocardial infarction and to improve scan efficiency.
Conclusions
• Add a slide:
The additional benefit of adenosine stress testing
Cost effectiveness of early patient triage translating into
savings in health care cost dollars
12 months prognostic data
Clinical Cases
50 yo male lawyer, atypical chest pain
First troponin negative
60 yo female presenting with an episode of prolonged
chest pain 24 hours ago, then another episode for several
minutes.
60 yo female presenting with “good story” of
unstable angina.
EKG: NSST changes
First troponin 3X ULN
Cath during index hospitalization: NS stenosis

Notas do Editor

  1. Good afternoon, In the first presentation of this session, Dr. Schussheim has presented the results of the pilot phase of our study. I’ d now like to present the midterm results of the prospective phase of our study using cardiac MRI in the ER in evaluating patients presented with chest pain.
  2. According to AHA statistics, there are over 1 million myocardial infarctions in this country per year and a third of them will die from it. There are over 6 million people suffering from angina, and as a result, over 5 million cases of chest pain are evaluated in the emergency rooms each year. This illustrates the burden of chest pain syndromes to the health care system.
  3. According to recent ACC/AHA guidelines, chest pain in the ER could be categorized into 3 risk groups. 10% of patients falls into the high risk group with acute ST elevation on admission EKG diagnostic of acute myocardial infarction. This group needs to be treated without delay and no further diagnostic testing is needed, therefore urgent assessment with MRI has very little role here. In the groups with an intermediate to low clinical suspicion of acute coronary syndromes, at the time when they are diagnostically unknown, MRI may provide useful diagnostic information helpful in early risk stratification and treatment planning.
  4. This slide describes the imaging sequences of the acute chest pain protocol: Rapid localization sequence is followed by myocardial perfusion, function, and viability assessment in that order, over a period of approximately 40 minutes.
  5. We hypothesized that MRI could effectively triage patients presented with possible acute coronary syndromes in the Emergency Room. In the pilot phase we studied 37 patients from different risk groups to make sure we would have a representative sample of normal and abnormal cases in a small sample size. In the prospective phase, at the time of this presentation, we have studied 121 patients over a 10 month period. These are patients presented to the ER with chest pain &amp;gt; 30 minutes and non-dx EKG

  7. This slide illustrates the primary endpoints of our study. The primary endpoints are acute myocardial infarction during index hospitalization, or significant CAD, re-hospitalization for MI, death, or stroke upon 30 day follow-up. Acute myocardial infarction is defined by abnormal elevation of troponin levels concordant with findings on coronary angiography and/or clinical assessment.

Acute myocardial infarction is defined by abnormal elevation of troponin levels concordant with findings on coronary angiography and/or clinical assessment.
  10. This slide explains how we define a MRI study to be abnormal. A cardiac MRI study is abnormal if any one of the following exists: Regional wall motion abnormality regardless of other finding. Myocardial hyperenhancement regardless of other finding. Resting perfusion defect with congruent either RWMA or myocardial hyperenhancement. All readings were done by the consensus of two cardiologists blinded to the endpoints of the studies.
  11. Our scanner is only open from 7 to 7, Monday to Friday, so with the patients presented during offhours included, median time of MRI study from admission was 6 hours. However, that time is really about 2 hours when patients were presented during working hours. Questions: what were your nine risk factors? I retyped the slide. It looks like you are not using the slide layout function in powerpoint to help you deal with text alignment. Ask me sometime to show you what I mean.
