Changes of serum NT-pro BNP and Lp (a) levels in patients with acute mocardial infarction after emergency PCI and their clincal significances / 吉林大学学报(医学版)

ABSTRACT

Objective: To investigate the changes of the levels of amino-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-pro BNP) and lipoprotein a [Lp (a)], and to clarify the relationships between the severity of coronary artery lesions and the prognosis in the patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCD. Methods: A total of 316 AMI patients underwent emergency PCI were selected. According to the number of stenosed coronary vessels, the patients were divided into single-vessel disease group (n=135), double-vessel disease group (n= 99) and three-vessel disease group (n=82). According to the Gensini score, there were 79 cases in 83. 00 group. The patients' general data, biochemical parameters, echocardiography results, and coronary angiography findings were recorded, and the major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) were also recorded during a 12-month folow-up. The relationships between the serum NT-pro BNP and Lp (a) levels of the AMI patients in different lesion counts and Gensini scores, and the recent Accurrence of MACE were analyzed. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was drawn to investigate the values of NT-pro BNP and Lp (a) levels on predicting the recent MACE in the patients with AMI. Results: The serum NT-pro BNP levels of the patients in three-vessel disease group and double-vessel disease group were higher than that in single-vessel disease group (P< 0.01); the serum Lp (a) level of the patients in three-vessel disease group was higher than that in single-vessel disease group (P<0.05). According to Spearman correlation analysis, there were positive correlations between the serum NT-pro BNP level, Lp (a) level of the AMI patients and the number of coronary vessels (r=0.285, P< 0.01; r=0.144, P=0.010); there were positive correlation between the serum NT-pro BNP level, Lp (a) level and Gensini score of coronary lesions (r=0.156, P=0.006; r=0.164, P=0.003). The serum NT-pro BNP and Lp (a) levels of the patients with MACE during follow-up were higher than those in the patients without MACE. The ROC curve showed that the area under the curve (AUC) of the levels of serum NT-pro BNP and Lp (a) was 0.747 (95%CI 0.679-0.814). Conclusion: The serum NT-pro BNP and Lp (a) levels have the certain relationships with the severity of coronary artery lesions in the AMI patients after PCI. The simultaneous detection A serum NT-pro BNP and Lp (a) levels has certain predictive value for the recent Accurrence of MACE in the AMI patients underwent emergency PCI.
