Relative Prognostic Value of Cardiac Troponin I and C-Reactive Protein in the General Population (from the Nord-Trøndelag Health [HUNT] Study)

C-reactive protein and cardiac troponin I measured with high-sensitivity assays (high-sensitivity C-reactive protein [hs-CRP] and high-sensitivity troponin I [hs-TnI]) have been associated with risk of fatal and nonfatal cardiovascular events in the general population. The relative prognostic merits of hs-CRP and hs-TnI, and whether these markers of inflammation and subclinical myocardial injury provide incremental information to established cardiovascular risk prediction models, remain unclear. hs-CRP and hs-TnI were measured in 9,005 participants from the prospective observational Nord-Trøndelag Health (HUNT) study. All study subjects were free from known cardiovascular disease at baseline. During a median follow-up period of 13.9 years, 733 participants reached the composite end point of hospitalization for acute myocardial infarction or heart failure, or cardiovascular death. In adjusted models, increased hs-TnI concentrations (>10 ng/L for women and >12 ng/L for men) were associated with the incidence of the composite end point (hazard ratio 3.61, 95% confidence interval [CI] 2.89 to 4.51]), whereas the risk associated with increased hs-CRP concentrations (>3 mg/L for both genders) appeared to be weaker (HR 1.71, 95% CI 1.40 to 2.10). The addition of hs-TnI to established cardiovascular risk prediction models led to a net reclassification improvement of 0.35 (95% CI 0.27 to 0.42), superior to that of hs-CRP (0.21, 95% CI 0.13 to 0.28). The prognostic accuracy of hs-TnI, assessed by C-statistics, was significantly greater than that of hs-CRP (0.753, 95% CI 0.735 to 0.772, vs 0.644, 95% CI 0.625 to 0.663). In conclusion, in subjects from the general population without a history of cardiovascular disease, hs-TnI provides prognostic information superior to that provided by hs-CRP and may therefore be a preferred marker for targeted prevention.
