RESUMO
Objective To understand the related influencing factors of pleural effusion caused by severe congestive heart failure to provide an idea for clinical diagnosis and treatment.Methods Three hundreds patients with severe congestive heart failure admitted to the cardiology department of this hospital from January to June 2015 were selected.The sex,age,heart failure degree,pleural effusion,type of heart disease,diabetes mellitus,atrial fibrillation,B-type pro-brain natriuretic peptide,white blood cell,neutrophil percentage,hemoglobin,blood urea nitrogen,serum albumin and hospital stay were recorded and performed the statistical analysis.Results The sex,heart failure degree,ejection fraction,B-type pro-brain natriuretic peptide,neutrophil percentage and serum albumin had statistical differences between the patients with pleural effusion caused by severe congestive heart failure and patients without pleural effusion(P＜0.05).The left atrial diastolic diameter/left ventricular end-diastolic diameter,white blood cell,hemoglobin,blood urea nitrogen,type of heart disease,diabetes,atrial fibrillation and hospitalization stay had no statistically significant differences(P＞0.05).Conclusion Pleural effusion caused by severe congestive heart failure has the correlation with the sex,heart failure degree,hypoproteinemia and neutrophil percentage.
