Acute Myocardial Injury in Spontaneous Intracerebral Hemorrhage: A Secondary Observational Analysis of the FAST Trial

Background Acute myocardial injury is associated with poor outcomes in patients with acute ischemic stroke, but its prognostic significance in patients with spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage remains unclear. We investigated whether acute myocardial injury and the direction of the cardiac troponin...

description Background Acute myocardial injury is associated with poor outcomes in patients with acute ischemic stroke, but its prognostic significance in patients with spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage remains unclear. We investigated whether acute myocardial injury and the direction of the cardiac troponin I (cTnI) change (rising versus falling) affect post‐intracerebral hemorrhage outcomes. Methods and Results We re‐analyzed the FAST (Factor‐Seven‐for‐Acute‐Hemorrhagic‐Stroke) trial. Acute myocardial injury was defined as at least 1 cTnI value above the upper reference limit with a rise/fall of >20%. Logistic regression tested for associations (1) between acute myocardial injury (presence versus absence) and poor outcome (modified Rankin Scale 4–6) and mortality at 15 and 90 days; (2) among 3 groups (rising versus falling versus no acute myocardial injury) and outcomes. Among the 841 FAST participants, 785 patients were included. Acute myocardial injury was detected in 29% (n=227); 170 had rising cTnI. At 15 and 90 days, respectively, those with acute myocardial injury had higher odds of poor outcome (adjusted odds ratio) ([aOR] 2.3 [95% CI, 1.3–3.9]); and adjusted odds ratio 2.5 [95% CI, 1.6–3.9];, and higher odds of mortality (adjusted odds ratio 2.4 [95% CI, 1.4–4.3]; and adjusted odds ratio 2.2 [CI, 1.3–3.6]) than patients without. There was no interaction between FAST group assignment and myocardial injury, and associations between myocardial injury and outcomes were consistent across group assignments. Rising cTnI was associated with the highest risk of poor outcomes and mortality. Conclusions In this secondary analysis of the FAST trial, acute myocardial injury was common and associated with poor outcomes. The direction of the cTnI change might provide additional risk stratification after intracerebral hemorrhage.
