Background: Associations between elevated circulating cardiac troponin I (cTnI) levels and adverse cardiac outcomes were established prior to the ability to measure extremely low levels of cTnI. Immunoassays that achieve precise ultra-highly sensitive quantification of cTnI (u-hs-cTnI) will allow accurate measurement in healthy subjects. We aimed to evaluate the distribution of u-hs-cTnI values measured by (Simoa HD-1 Analyzer, Quanterix Corporation, Lexington, MA) in healthy subjects and characterize relations to sex and age. Methods: Two independent, healthy cohorts (total of 200 women, 200 men) aged 18–86 years were analyzed in duplicate using the u-hs-cTnI Immunoassay. The u-hs-cTnI 99th percentiles were calculated as the upper limits considering a robust estimation against outliers with 90% confidence intervals. The Quanterix immunoassay analytical performance was established and compared to an existing clinical assay (ARCHITECT STAT High Sensitivity Troponin I, Abbott Laboratories, Wiesbaden, Germany). Results: The lower limit of detection of the u-hs-cTnI assay was calculated to be 0.005 ng/L; we accurately quantified u-hs-cTnI in 95% of healthy individuals. The Quanterix immunoassay within overlapping concentrations correlated with the Abbott assay (R2 = 0.932). The calculated combined 99th percentile was 7.94 ng/L (90% Confidence Interval [CI], 5.47–10.52). Women had lower mean u-hs-cTnI concentrations than men under the age of 40 years. The sex-specific 99th percentile for female vs. male individuals was 4.89 ng/L (90%CI, 3.71–6.25) and 10.49 ng/L (90%CI, 5.19–15.06), respectively. Conclusion: The Quanterix immunoassay provides precise quantification in 95% of healthy individuals. Women under the age of 40 years have significantly lower levels of u-hs-cTnI than men. |
