Abstract | BACKGROUND:
Troponin I is better than other troponin isoforms for monitoring cardiocyte damage, and correlates with sepsis-related mortality. However, hemodynamic factors possibly interact with cardiac function to affect mortality in sepsis. Thus, this study used parameters from pulse-induced contour cardiac output (PiCCO) to investigate the possibility. METHODS: Patients with troponin I tests and sequential organ failure assessment score ≥2 were selected and divided into survivors and nonsurvivors groups and blood troponin I levels between them were compared. Additionally, 65 patients with septic shock and PiCCO records were selected and divided into high cardiac function index ( CFI) and low CFI groups and their cardiac function associated with troponin I levels was checked. Furthermore, the patients were classified into 4 subgroups based on CFI and another hemodynamical parameter of PiCCO for identifying if any interaction between CFI and the parameter existed. RESULTS: High blood troponin I levels correlated with high mortality, and with low cardiac function ( CFI < 4.5) alone or with low CFI combined with high stroke volume variation (SVV), but did not correlate with global end-diastolic index (GEDI), or systemic vascular resistance index. However, only the subgroup with low CFI and high SVV ( CFI < 4.5 and SVV > 10) increased mortality. CONCLUSIONS: Our data give an insight into interactions between cardiac and hemodynamic factors to cause cardiocyte damage and suggest that multiple factors (i.e., low CFI and high SVV) should be considered together to evaluate cardiocyte damage and mortality in sepsis.
