The correlation of the ultrasound in cardiac function index and serum Hcy in chronic heart failure patients / 实用医学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To study the correlation between serum homocysteine (Hcy) levels and chronic heart failure (CHF) with ultrasound cardiac function patients.Methods The subjects were 88 cases of CHF (CHF group) in our hospital between April 2014 to June 2015 between patients,selected 65 cases of healthy people as a control group over the same period in our hospital,using color Doppler ultrasound measurement of two groups patients of the left ventricular ejection fraction of patients groups (LVEF) and left ventricular end-diastolic diameter (LVEDd),and compared serum Hcy and NT-proBNP levels,LVEF and LVEDd in different NYHA classification patients,analysis of serum Hcy and NT-proBNP levels and LVEF,LVEDd between correlation of serum Hcy levels on cardiovascular incident.Results CHF group of the Hcy,NT-proBNP levels and LVEDd were significantly higher than control group (P ＜ 0.01),LVEF was significantly lower than the control group (t =31.78,P =0.00);different NYHA functional class (Ⅱ ～ Ⅳ level) of Hcy,NT-proBNP,LVEDd and LVEF compared were statistically difference (P ＜ 0.01);Pearson correlation analysis showed,CHF patients with LVEF serum Hcy levels were negatively correlated (r2 =0.974,P ＜ 0.01),with LVEDd was positively correlated (r2 =0.896,P ＜ 0.05),and higher serum Hcy levels,the higher the rate of cardiovascular happened in patients with CHF.Conclusion The serum Hcy and NT-proBNP levels in patients with CHF were significantly higher than healthy,and with the deterioration of heart function and increased while the LVEF was negatively correlated positively with LVEDd,cardiovascular events in high Hcy levels may also increase the incidence risk,so Hcy levels is expected as a new diagnostic marker CHF conditions change.
