Copeptin in acute chest pain: identification of acute coronary syndrome and obstructive coronary artery disease on coronary CT angiography

Abstract: Copeptin seems to be elevated in patients with ACS while there is no strong correlation with obstructive coronary disease on CTA.

“…21 With the increased use of imaging and cardiac biomarkers, there is a prospect for combining new biomarkers with imaging modalities to guide clinical practice. 26 Previous studies showed that copeptin levels can be used for the diagnosis of AMI, [15][16][17][18]23,27 but they all used different measurement time points and the best time point still needs to be defined. In addition, because of the variations in methods and patients among studies, no direct comparisons among studies are possible.…”

“…These data were used in a project by Chenevier-Gobeaux et al [17], who proved that CTproAVP could be an important element in a panel of markers used to exclude AMI. Dedic et al [18] sought a correlation between copeptin concentration and the clinical situation of increased risk for AMI: acute coronary symptoms (ACS) and coronary artery disease (CAD). Importantly, all the ACS patients (diagnosed finally with myocardial infarction or unstable angina pectoris) presented an elevated CTproAVP concentration, while patients with CAD had a higher copeptin level only in symptomatic cases (ACS).…”

“…These findings also support the role of copeptin as a stress marker. Undoubtedly, copeptin together with AVP and cortisol are secreted in response to life--threatening events, and AMI is one of them [18]. There is, however, a possibility that the basic pathologic mechanism of copeptin release is connected to the stimulation of baroreceptors in response to cardiac damage, and subsequent underfilling of heart ventricles [19].…”
