- To explore if the brain biomarker neuron-specific enolase (NSE) in combination with a biomarker for stress; CT-proAVP (copeptin), oxidation; peroxiredoxin 4 (Prx4), inflammation; procalcitonin (PCT), or with biomarkers from the heart; midregional proatrial natriuretic peptide (MR-proANP), or troponin T (TnT) can improve the prognostic accuracy of long-term outcome after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). Serum samples from cardiac arrest patients, treated at 33°C for 24 hours, were collected serially at 12, 24, and 48 hours after cardiac arrest. The concentration of the investigated biomarkers was measured using stored samples, and long-term outcome was evaluated by the cerebral performance category (CPC) at 6 months. Poor outcome was defined as CPC 3-5. Sixty-two patients with OHCA of presumed cardiac cause were included. NSE had best prognostic accuracy for poor outcome at 48 hours with a receiver operating characteristic area under curve (AUC) of 0.94 (95% confidence interval [CI] 0.87-1). The combination of NSE with TnT, both at 48 hours, increased the AUC to 0.98 (95% CI 0.95-1, likelihood ratio [LR] test p-value 0.07, net reclassification index [NRI] <0.001); NSE and MR-proANP, both at 12 hours, yielded an AUC of 0.91 (95% CI 0.80-1, LR test p-value 0.0014, NRI p-value 0.003); NSE at 48 hours with MR-proANP at 12 hours yielded an AUC of 0.97 (95% CI 0.92-1, LR test p-value 0.055, NRI p-value 0.04). This pilot study suggests that a combination of biomarkers with NSE could be beneficial for improving early prognostication of long-term outcome following OHCA.

- In the randomized rapid intravascular cooling in myocardial infarction as adjunctive to percutaneous coronary intervention (RAPID MI-ICE) and rapid endovascular catheter core cooling combined with cold saline as an adjunct to percutaneous coronary intervention for the treatment of acute myocardial infarction CHILL-MI studies, hypothermia was rapidly induced in conscious patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) by a combination of cold saline and endovascular cooling. Twenty patients in RAPID MI-ICE and 120 in CHILL-MI with large STEMIs, scheduled for primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) within <6 hours after symptom onset were randomized to hypothermia induced by rapid infusion of 600-2000mL cold saline combined with endovascular cooling or standard of care. Hypothermia was initiated before PCI and continued for 1-3 hours after reperfusion aiming at a target temperature of 33 degrees C. The primary endpoint was myocardial infarct size (IS) as a percentage of myocardium at risk (IS/MaR) assessed by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging at 4 +/- 2 days. Patients randomized to hypothermia treatment achieved a mean core body temperature of 34.7 degrees C before reperfusion. Although significance was not achieved in CHILL-MI, in the pooled analysis IS/MaR was reduced in the hypothermia group, relative reduction (RR) 15% (40.5, 28.0-57.6 vs. 46.6, 36.8-63.8, p=0.046, median, interquartile range [IQR]). IS/MaR was predominantly reduced in early anterior STEMI (0-4h) in the hypothermia group, RR=31% (40.5, 28.8-51.9 vs. 59.0, 45.0-67.8, p=0.01, median, IQR). There was no mortality in either group. The incidence of heart failure was reduced in the hypothermia group (2 vs. 11, p=0.009). Patients with large MaR (>30% of the left ventricle) exhibited significantly reduced IS/MaR in the hypothermia group (40.5, 27.0-57.6 vs. 55.1, 41.1-64.4, median, IQR; hypothermia n=42 vs. control n=37, p=0.03), while patients with MaR<30% did not show effect of hypothermia (35.8, 28.3-57.5 vs. 38.4, 27.4-59.7, median, IQR; hypothermia n=15 vs. control n=19, p=0.50). The prespecified pooled analysis of RAPID MI-ICE and CHILL-MI indicates a reduction of myocardial IS and reduction in heart failure by 1-3 hours with endovascular cooling in association with primary PCI of acute STEMI predominantly in patients with large area of myocardium at risk.

- Target Temperature Management (TTM) is standard care following out of hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). The aim of the study was to evaluate if treatment temperature (33°C or 36°C) or other predefined variables were associated with the occurrence of bleeding in the TTM study. This study is a predefined, post hoc analysis of the TTM trial, a multinational randomized controlled trial comparing treatment at 33°C and 36°C for 24 hours after OHCA with return of spontaneous circulation. Bleeding events from several locations were registered daily. The main outcome measure was occurrence of any bleeding during the first 3 days of intensive care. Risk factors for bleeding, including temperature allocation, were evaluated. Complete data were available for 722/939 patients. Temperature allocation was not associated with bleeding either in the univariable (p = 0.95) or in the primary multivariable analysis (odds ratio [OR] 0.95; 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.64–1.41, p = 0.80). A multiple imputation model, including all patients, was used as a sensitivity analysis, rendering similar results (OR 0.98; 95% CI 0.69–1.38, p = 0.92). Factors associated with bleeding were increasing age, female sex, and angiography with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) within 36 hours of cardiac arrest (CA) in both the primary and the sensitivity analysis. TTM at 33°C, when compared to TTM at 36°C, was not associated with an increased incidence of bleeding during the first 3 days of intensive care after CA. Increasing age, female gender, and PCI were independently associated with any bleeding the first 3 days after CA.

- Mild induced hypothermia is used for neuroprotection in patients successfully resuscitated after cardiac arrest. Temperature-dependent effects on rotational thromboelastometry (ROTEM(®)) assays with EXTEM(®), FIBTEM(®), or APTEM(®) in cardiac arrest patients have not previously been studied. Ten patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest who underwent induced hypothermia were studied during stable hypothermia at 33°C. ROTEM temperature effects on EXTEM, FIBTEM, and APTEM assays were studied at temperatures set between 30°C and 42°C. Citrated whole blood test tubes were incubated in temperature-adjusted heating blocks and then investigated at respective temperature in the temperature-adjusted ROTEM. The following variables were determined: clotting time (CT), clot formation time (CFT), α-angle, and maximum clot firmness (MCF). The results from hypo- and hyperthermia samples were compared with the samples incubated at 37°C using the Wilcoxon matched-pairs signed-rank test. A p-value of <0.05 was considered significant. CT-EXTEM(®) and CT-APTEM(®) were prolonged by hypothermia at 30°C (p<0.01 for both) and 33°C (p<0.05 for both). Hyperthermia at 42°C shortened CT-EXTEM (p<0.05) and CT-APTEM (p<0.01). CFT-EXTEM(®) and CFT-APTEM(®) were markedly prolonged by hypothermia at 30°C, 33°C, and 35°C (p<0.01 for all except CFT-EXTEM, 35°C [p<0.05]). The α-angle-EXTEM was markedly decreased at 30°C, 33°C, and 35°C (p<0.01) but increased at 40°C (p<0.05) and 42°C (p<0.01); α-angle-APTEM showed similar results. MCF was unchanged at different temperatures for all tests. ROTEM (EXTEM, FIBTEM, and APTEM assays) revealed a hypocoagulative response to in vitro-applied hypothermia in the blood of cardiac arrest patients reflected in the prolonged clot initiation and decreased clot propagation. Hyperthermia showed the opposite effects. Clot firmness was not affected by temperature.

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Cardiovascular and inflammatory biomarkers in therapeutic hypothermia have been studied in cardiac arrest, but data on patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) treated with therapeutic hypothermia are currently unavailable. A multiplex proximity extension assay allowed us to measure 157 cardiovascular disease (CVD) and inflammatory disease-related biomarkers in patients from the international, multicenter, and randomized trial; CHILL-myocardial infarction (MI) and to explore the associations of cardiovascular and inflammatory biomarkers. Blood samples were obtained from 119 patients with STEMI, randomized to hypothermia as adjunctive therapy to percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) or standard care with PCI only. Blood samples were obtained at baseline (0 hour), 6, 24, and 96 hours post PCI, and stored at -80°C until they were analyzed by PROSEEK Multiplex CVD and PROSEEK Multiplex INF (Olink Bioscience, Uppsala, Sweden). Peak values from 6, 24, and 96 hours postrandomization were compared between treatment groups. One hundred fifty-seven cardiovascular and inflammatory biomarkers were evaluated. Peak values of four biomarkers (BDNF, DNER, CCL20, MMP3) were reduced in the hypothermia group as compared with the control group. In addition, seven markers were slightly elevated in the hypothermia group (OPG, FGF21, FS, IL12B, PRL, TIM, IL6). In a prespecified subgroup analysis of anterior infarctions, two additional markers were reduced (PTX3 and SELE). In this explorative proteomic study from the randomized trial CHILL-MI, four biomarkers were identified as having reduced peak plasma values in patients with STEMI treated with therapeutic hypothermia as adjunctive therapy to PCI as compared with patients treated with standard care of PCI. In addition, seven biomarkers were elevated in the group treated with hypothermia therapy. The effect of hypothermia on biomarker peak values was modest, possibly due to a low reduction in mean body temperature. Whether a faster and deeper cooling results in more pronounced effects is yet to be established.
