Effect of levosimendan combined with freeze-dried recombinant human brain natriuretic peptide on cardiac function and hemodynamics in elderly patients with heart failure / 实用医学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the clinical effects of levosimmentan combined with freeze-dried recombinant human brain natriuretic peptide in elderly patients with heart failure. Methods Eighty patients with heart failure diagnosed in our hospital from January 2015 to January 2018 were selected as subjects. According to the random number table prepared in Excel 2007,40 patients in the experimental group and the control group were given. For basic treatments such as diuresis,the experimental group was treated with levosimtan combined with lyophilized recombinant human brain natriuretic peptide,and the control group was treated with levosimtan and dobutamine. The left ventricle of the two groups before and after treatment was compared. End-diastolic period (LVEDD),left ventricular ejection fraction(LVEF),cardiac index(CI),stroke volume(SV),serum cystatin C (Cys-C),amino terminal brain natriuretic peptide precursor(NT-proBNP),mean arterial pressure(MAP), pulmonary capillary pressure(PCWP). Results Before treatment,the differences of LVEDD,LVEF,CI and SV levels between the experimental group and the control group were not statistically significant(P > 0.05). After treatment,the LVEDD of the experimental group was significantly lower than that of the control group(P < 0.05).The LVEF,CI and SV values in the experimental group were significantly higher than those in the control group (P < 0.05). There was no significant difference in serum Cys-C and NT-proBNP levels between the experimental group and the control group before treatment(P > 0.05). After treatment,the serum levels of Cys-C and NT-proB-NP in the experimental group were significantly lower than those in the control group(P < 0.05). Before treatment,the difference of MAP and PCWP levels between the experimental group and the control group was not statistically significant(P > 0.05). After treatment,the MAP and PCWP levels in the experimental group were significantly lower than those in the control group(P < 0.05). The incidence of adverse reactions in the experimental group was 10.00％ and the difference between the control group and the control group was not statistically significant(P > 0.05). Conclusions Levosimmentan combined with freeze-dried recombinant human brain natriuretic peptide in patients with senile heart failure can significantly improve cardiac function,reduce Cys-C,NT-proBNP levels,and improve hemodynamic parameters.
