RESUMO

Making the diagnosis of acute pulmonary thromboembolism (APT) and assessing its severity is very challenging. While cardiac troponin I (CTI) levels are promising in risk stratification, no previous study has examined whether there is a linear relation between CTI levels and the severity of APT. Moreover, matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are involved in the pathophysiology of APT. However, it is unknown whether the increases in MMP levels after APT reflect the severity of this condition. We examined whether the circulating levels of these biomarkers increase in proportion to the severity of experimental APT induced in anesthetized dogs. APT was induced with autologous blood clots (saline, 1, 3, or 5 mL/kg) injected into the right atrium. Hemodynamic evaluations were carried out for 120 min. Gelatin zymography of MMP-2 and MMP-9 from plasma samples were performed and serum CTI levels were determined at baseline and 120 min after APT. Our results sugest that while no significant increases in pro-MMP-2 levels were found after APT, pro-MMP-9 levels increased by 80% only after 5 mL/kg of clot embolization. Serum CTI and plasma pro-MMP-9 levels correlated positively with pulmonary vascular resistance (p=0.007 and rs=0.833 for troponin I, and p=0.034 and rs=0.684 for pro-MMP-9) and with pulmonary artery pressure (p=0.005 and rs=0.610 for troponin I, and p=0.022 and rs=0.720 for pro-MMP-9). We conclude that circulating CTI and pro-MMP-9 increase in proportion to the severity of APT, although the increases in plasma pro-MMP-9 are less clear with less severe APT. These findings may be relevant for clinical APT.
