ABSTRACT
Objective To study the correlation between amino terminal B-type natriuretic peptide precursor(NT-proBNP) and risk factors of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) with elder patients.Methods One hundred and twenty-eight ACS patients were divided into unstable angina pectoris (UAP) group with 52 samples,ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) group with 35 samples and non-ST elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) group with 41 samples.Meanwhile 45 healthy elder people were adopted as control group.Firstly,the subjects of blood pressure,body mass index (BMI) and smoking numbers were measured.Secondly,venous blood was collected to assay NT-proBNP,cardiac troponin Ⅰ (cTn Ⅰ),homocysteine (Hcy),blood-lipoids and C-reactive protein(CRP).Lastly,ultrasonic cardiogram was used to test left ventricular end diastolic diameter(LVEDD),left ventricular end systolic diameter (LVESD) and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF).In addition,correlation analysis was researched between NT-proBNP and other factors.Results NT-proBNP levels of UAP,STEMI and NSTEMI groups were significantly higher than the control group ((794.18±182.64) ng/L,(872.43±245.67) ng/L,(557.25±163.81) ng/L) and (125.84±59.27) ng/L,P ＜ 0.05).NT-proBNP was positive correlation with systolic blood pressure,diastolic blood pressure,Hcy and CRP (r=0.182,0.176,0.281,0.191;P=0.040,0.043,0.001,0.031),however negative with LVEF(r=-0.247,P =0.005).Conclusion NT-proBNP level is sensitive to monitor ACS variety,and it is significant to test NT-proBNP combining Hcy,CRP,and cTn Ⅰ for diagnosing and treating ACS.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the clinical value of NT‐proBNP and cTnI detection in the diagnosis and treatment of con‐gestiveheartfailure.Methods 198patientswithcardiovascularwereastheresearchobjects,95caseswithHFwereasHFgroup, 103 caseswithout HF were as control group ,compared left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and serum NT‐proBNP ,cTnI levels of patients ,and compared LVEF ,serum NT‐proBNP ,cTnI levels of patients with different cardiac functions ,analysed the correla‐tion between serum NT‐proBNP ,cTnI levels and LVEF in patients with HF ,and analysed the diagnosic value of NT‐proBNP ,cTnI combined detection and single detection on HF .Results LVEF and serum NT‐proBNP ,cTnI levels of the HF group were higher than those of the control group(P<0 .05) ,LVEF of the HFgroup decreased significantly when cardiac function classification in‐creased ,serum NT‐proBNP ,cTnI levels increased significantly ,there were statistically significant differences in the indices between the three groups(P<0 .05) ,serum NT‐proBNP ,cTnI was inversely related to the level of LVEF (r= -0 .536 ,-0 .328 ,P<0 .05);proBNP ,the specificity ,positive predictive value and accuracy in the diagnosis of HF byproBNP 、cTnI combined detection improved obviously than the single detection ,compared with cTnI the specificity ,accuracy rate ,there was difference significant(χ2 =4 .595 , 21 .648 ,P=0 .032 ,0 .000) .Conclusion It has important clinical value Serum NT‐proBNP ,cTnI levels detection for the diagnosis and judgment of HF .
