Abstract:
Cardiac troponin is the reference biomarker for acute myocardial infarction (AMI) but has limited utility in the hyperacute phase. Raman spectroscopy enables rapid, label-free molecular analysis, whereas mass spectrometry offers greater molecular specificity at higher cost. Plasma from 57 coronary-ligated or Sham-operated mice underwent Raman spectroscopy and mass spectrometry. A stacking ensemble model was developed to identify AMI using Raman spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, or fused data. Under nested cross-validation, the Raman spectroscopy model yielded an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) of 0.807 (95% CI [0.679, 0.910]). Mass spectrometry and fused models achieved 1.000 (95% CI [1.000, 1.000]), and fusion showed no detectable improvement over mass spectrometry. Cardiac troponin I demonstrated 0.714 (95% CI [0.567, 0.842]), significantly lower than mass spectrometry and fused models (Holm-adjusted p < 0.001) and numerically lower than the Raman spectroscopy model (Holm-adjusted p = 0.357). These findings require confirmation in larger human cohorts.
