N2 - Purpose: The main objective of this multicentric study was to evaluate the additional value of copeptin to conventional cardiac troponin (cTn) for a rapid ruling out of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) in patients with acute chest pain and a previous history of coronary artery disease (CAD). Patients and Method: Patients with a previous history of CAD presenting in the emergency department with acute chest pain lasting for 6 hours or less suggestive of non-ST-segment elevation AMI and negative cTn were selected. Levels of copeptin were blindly measured at presentation. The diagnosis was adjudicated by 2 independent experts using all available data including cTn. Results: A total of 451 patients were included (mean age, 67 ± 14; 330 [73%] men). The adjudicated final diagnosis was AMI in 36 (8%) patients, unstable angina in 131 (29%), and other diagnosis in 284 (63%). A negative cTn combined with a copeptin value lower than 10.7 pmol/L at presentation was able to rule out AMI, with a negative predictive value of 98% (95% confidence interval, 95%-99%). Conclusion: In triage patients with acute chest pain lasting for less than 6 hours and a previous history of CAD, the combination of copeptin and cTn allows for the ruling out AMI, with a negative predictive value greater than 95%.
