Abstract

The role of the arginine-vasopressin (AVP) system in the response to myocardial ischemia is unclear. Copeptin, the C-terminal part of the AVP prohormone is secreted stoichiometrically with AVP.; A total of 253 consecutive patients with suspected myocardial ischemia referred for rest/ergometry myocardial perfusion single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) were enrolled. We evaluated the response of copeptin during exercise and determined whether measurement of copeptin may be helpful in the detection of myocardial ischemia.; Myocardial ischemia on perfusion images was detected in 127 patients (50%). Median copeptin levels increased significantly with exercise in patients with ischemia as well as in patients without ischemia (from 3.8 [IQR 2.8-6.6] to 12.3 [IQR 5.2-39.6] pmol/l, P>0.001; and from 3.6 [IQR 2.6-5.7] to 10.8 [IQR 5.0-24.5] pmol/l, P>0.001). Median exercise-induced changes in copeptin (Deltacopeptin) were similar in both groups (7.7 versus 5.1 pmol/l, P=0.150). The area under the ROC curve for the ability of Deltacopeptin to detect myocardial ischemia was 0.552.; Copeptin levels increased threefold with exercise, irrespective of the presence or absence of myocardial ischemia. Therefore, myocardial ischemia does not seem to be a major trigger of the AVP system. Measurement of copeptin does not seem helpful in the detection of exercise-induced myocardial ischemia.
