ABSTRACT
Objective:To explore value of plasma N terminal pro B type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP)assessing prognosis of patients With diastolic heart failure (DHF)complicated type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).Methods:The folloW-up data of 206 inpatients With DHF and T2DM from our hospital Were retrospectively analyzed.Ac-cording outcome,they Were divided into no event group (n=108)and event group [n=98,With major adverse car-diovascular events (MACE)occurred].Levels of NT-proBNP,glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c),total cholesterol (TC)and loW density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C),left ventricular end-diastolic dimension (LVEDd),left ventricular peak early diastolic velocity/peak late diastolic velocity (E/A)and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF)during admission Were measured and compared betWeen tWo groups. Results:Compared With no event group,there Were significant increase in NT-proBNP level and LVEDd,and significant decrease in LVEF and E/A in event group (P4010 pg/ml (OR=5.028,P <0.05).Conclusion:Plasma NT-proBNP can independently predict prognosis of patients With diastolic heart failure complicated type 2 diabetes mellitus.
