		<p>Uno de los grandes desafíos de la Cardiología ha sido y es establecer con precisión el pronóstico, inmediato y alejado, del paciente con un síndrome coronario agudo (SCA), más precisamente con un infarto agudo de miocardio (IAM). Es la pregunta obligada del paciente y su familia una vez superada la fase hiperaguda de las primeras horas del evento.</p>
		<p>Los grandes avances en la Medicina no siguen un patrón continuo, sino escalonado. Sin lugar a duda, un gran avance, de esos que marcan un hito, ha sido la incorporación de las troponinas en el diagnóstico bioquímico de los SCA, al punto de obligar a redefinir el diagnóstico de IAM. (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B1">1</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B2">2</xref>)</p>
		<p> Pero el avance hacia las troponinas cardíacas de alta sensibilidad, permite además una medición cuantitativa precisa del tamaño de la injuria miocárdica. Así, uno puede detectar desde infartos microscópicos a otros de gran tamaño. Como el pronóstico del IAM depende en gran medida del tamaño del mismo, surge la tentación de utilizar los valores de troponina para predecir el pronóstico del paciente. (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B3">3</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B4">4</xref>)</p>
		<p>De los múltiples puntajes o <italic>scores</italic> que se han utilizado para medir el pronóstico de pacientes con SCA, han decantado y se usan casi universalmente, los puntajes GRACE, de riesgo isquémico, y CRUSADE, de riesgo de sangrado. (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B5">5</xref>) Estos puntajes incluyen datos clínicos, bioquímicos, electrocardiográficos, etc. En el caso de GRACE, que en su descripción original usaba la elevación de biomarcadores en forma categórica (sí-no), recientemente se modificó justamente para incorporar la troponina cardíaca de alta sensibilidad en forma cuantitativa, mejorando así su valor pronóstico. (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B6">6</xref>) Su uso generalizado permite utilizar estos puntajes para comparar distintas poblaciones para fines estadísticos, demográficos y científicos.</p>
		<p>¿Podría la medición de troponina al ingreso competir con estos puntajes bien establecidos? Existe un problema adicional: no hay valores universales de troponina de alta sensibilidad. Las troponinas cardíacas I y T tienen distintos valores de corte, por lo que se recomienda utilizar el percentilo 99 para separar valores normales de patológicos. Más allá de la polémica de cuál de las 2 es mejor, parece haber mínimas diferencias en el valor pronóstico entre ambas. (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B7">7</xref>) </p>
		<p>En el artículo publicado en este número de la Revista por Kersten y cols. (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B8">8</xref>) se ofrece una alternativa muy ingeniosa para solucionar este problema: utilizar un puntaje derivado del valor de troponina al ingreso como múltiplo del valor del percentilo 99, de manera de equilibrar las mediciones de los distintos tipos de troponinas. Para validad este nuevo puntaje, lo comparan con el rendimiento de los puntajes GRACE y CRUSADE analizando curvas ROC, utilizando el registro ReSCAR, publicado en esta Revista por Mirza Rivero y cols. en 2022, con cerca de 1000 pacientes de Argentina, y donde el presente estudio fue un análisis pre-especificado. (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B9">9</xref>)</p>
		<p>Los resultados evidencian una capacidad predictiva similar a la de los puntajes tradicionales en cuanto a eventos no fatales, y algo menor para eventos fatales hospitalarios y al año de seguimiento. Es interesante que los valores de área bajo la curva ROC del puntaje GRACE de mortalidad al año de 0,79 (IC 95% 0,73-0,85) en este estudio son muy parecidos a los publicados por Lucrecia Burgos y cols. (0,76, IC 95% 0,70-0,82) en un registro similar del Consejo Nacional de Residentes de Cardiología, CONAREC XVII, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B10"><sup>10</sup></xref> lo que avala la veracidad de los datos obtenidos. </p>
		<p>Por otro lado, en un estudio de pacientes con IAM sin elevación del ST, el grupo de Loutati R et al., en Israel, asoció claramente los cuartilos de troponina I de alta sensibilidad al ingreso con la mortalidad al año. (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B11">11</xref>) A diferencia del estudio argentino, se midió solo troponina I, y la selección de la población fue más homogénea, aunque abona la misma hipótesis. </p>
		<p>¿Cuál es el valor clínico de estos hallazgos? A mi entender con la sola determinación de los valores de troponina al ingreso, de uso casi universal hoy día en nuestro país y en el mundo en todo tipo de hospitales (al menos desearíamos que así fuera) se puede estimar el pronóstico del paciente en forma bastante fidedigna, revalorizando el tamaño de la injuria miocárdica como valor pronóstico principal en el IAM. El agregado del puntaje multiplicador del percentilo 99 es de gran valor para equilibrar los distintos tipos de troponina y estandarizar su valor. </p>
		<p>Obviamente, el agregado de datos clínicos mejora aún más la capacidad predictiva. Estos hallazgos refuerzan la idea de que, si bien la troponina es un biomarcador clave en la evaluación de pacientes con SCA, su interpretación no debe realizarse de manera aislada. (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B12">12</xref>) La integración con otros factores clínicos, como los contemplados en GRACE y CRUSADE, sigue siendo esencial para una estratificación de riesgo más precisa. En este sentido, el <italic>score</italic> basado en el percentilo 99 de troponina podría considerarse una herramienta complementaria, pero no un reemplazo de los modelos tradicionales de predicción de riesgo. </p>
		<p>En una etapa donde se sacralizan los estudios randomizados y se critican los registros, la presente publicación es un ejemplo a seguir de cómo obtener información científica de alto valor a partir de un registro, utilizando ideas previas a la realización del mismo, como se recomienda desde la metodología de la investigación científica. </p>
		<p>De hecho, este estudio resultó ganador del premio Dr. Raúl Borracci en el último Congreso SAC. La falta de patrocinio para este estudio, cosa habitual en nuestro medio y rara en otros países, enaltece a los autores y también a los investigadores que posibilitaron su ejecución. </p>

			<p>One of the great challenges of cardiology has been and continues to be to accurately establish the immediate and long-term prognosis of patients with acute coronary syndromes (ACS), particularly in cases of acute myocardial infarction (AMI). This is an imperative question for the patient and family once the hyperacute phase of the first hours of the event is over.</p>
			<p>Significant advances in medicine do not occur in a continuous fashion; rather, they follow a step-by-step pattern. Undoubtedly, the incorporation of troponins in the biochemical diagnosis of ACS represents a breakthrough, one of those that mark a milestone. Indeed, this incorporation has forced a redefinition of the diagnosis of AMI. (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B13">1</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B14">2</xref>)</p>
			<p> But the advent of high-sensitivity cardiac troponins also allows for an accurate quantitative measurement of myocardial injury size. Thus, one can detect from microscopic infarcts to large ones. As there is a significant correlation between the infarct size and prognosis after AMI, one may feel inclined to use troponin values to predict patients' outcome. (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B15">3</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B16">4</xref>)</p>
			<p>Among the multiple risk scores that have been used to measure the prognosis of patients with ACS, the GRACE score and the CRUSADE score are the most widely used tools to estimate risk of ischemic events or bleeding, respectively. (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B17">5</xref>) These scores include clinical, biochemical and electrocardiographic data, among other variables. The original GRACE score used elevated biomarkers as categorical variables (yes-no). A recent modification has incorporated high-sensitivity cardiac troponin as a quantitative variable, thus improving its prognostic value. (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B18">6</xref>) The extensive use of these scores makes it possible to compare different populations for statistical, demographic, and scientific purposes.</p>
			<p>Could troponin measurement at presentation compete with these well-established scores? An additional problem exists: there are no universal high-sensitivity troponin values. Cardiac troponins I and T have different cut-off values, so it is recommended to use the 99<sup>th</sup> percentile to differentiate between normal and pathological values. Beyond the controversy regarding the superiority of one over the other, there appear to be negligible disparities in their prognostic significance. (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B19">7</xref>) </p>
			<p>The article published in this issue of the Journal by Kersten et al. (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B20">8</xref>) proposes a highly innovative solution to this problem: the utilization of a score derived from the troponin value at presentation as multiple of the 99<sup>th</sup> percentile value to balance the measurements of the various types of troponins. To validate this new score, they compare it with the performance of the GRACE and CRUSADE scores by analyzing ROC curves, using the ReSCAR registry, published in this Journal by Mirza Rivero et al. in 2022, with about 1000 patients from Argentina, and where the present study was a pre-specified analysis. (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B21">9</xref>)</p>
			<p>The results show that the predictive ability is similar to that of traditional scores for non-fatal events, and somewhat lower for fatal in-hospital events and at 1-year follow-up. Interestingly, the area under the ROC curve of 0.79 (95% CI 0.73-0.85) for 1-year mortality of the GRACE score in this study is very similar to the one published by Lucrecia Burgos et al. (0.76, 95% CI 0.70-0.82) from a similar registry of the National Council of Cardiology Residents, CONAREC XVII, (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B22">10</xref>) which supports the reliability of the data obtained. </p>
			<p>A study conducted in Israel by Loutati R et al. with non-ST-segment elevation MI patients demonstrated a clear association between high-sensitivity troponin I quartiles at presentation and mortality at 1 year. (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B23">11</xref>) Unlike the Argentine study, this study only measured troponin I and the selection of the population was more homogeneous, although it supports the same hypothesis. </p>
			<p>Which are the clinical values of these findings? In my opinion, a single determination of troponin levels at presentation, which is standard practice in our country and worldwide in all types of hospitals (at least we wish it were so), can be used to estimate the prognosis of patients quite reliably, revaluing the extent of myocardial injury as the main prognostic value in AMI. The addition of the score derived from the troponin value at presentation as multiple of the 99<sup>th</sup> percentile value is extremely valuable to balance the different types of troponins and standardize its value. </p>
			<p>Obviously, the addition of clinical data further improves the predictive ability. These findings underscore the idea that, although troponin is a key biomarker in the evaluation of ACS patients, its interpretation should not be performed in isolation. (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B24">12</xref>) Integration with other clinical factors, such as those contemplated in GRACE and CRUSADE scores, remains essential for more accurate risk stratification. In this sense, the score based on the 99<sup>th</sup> percentile troponin value could be considered a complementary tool but should not replace the traditional risk prediction models. </p>
			<p>In a time when randomized studies are held in high regard and registries are criticized, this publication serves as a model for obtaining valuable scientific information from a registry. It employs ideas prior to conducting the registry, as recommended by the scientific research methodology. </p>
			<p>In fact, this study received the Dr. Raúl Borracci award at the last SAC Congress. The lack of sponsorship for this study, which is common in our environment and rare in other countries, is a credit to the authors and also to the researchers who made its execution possible. </p>
