The value of combined detection of NT-proBNP,CA-125 and Hs-CRP for the diagnosis of chronic heart failure / 重庆医学

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the changes of serum N-terminal proBNP (NT-proBNP) ,carbohydrate antigen 125(CA-125) and high sensitive CRP(Hs-CRP) levels in patients with chronic heart failure(CHF) ,to evaluate the severity of CHF using the three markers alone or in combination .Methods A total of 62 patients with CHF(CHF group) from our hospital were select-ed .Among them ,13 cases were in NYHA class Ⅱ ,27 cases were in class Ⅲ and 22 cases were in class Ⅳ .The control group in-cluded 54 patients without CHF .Serum levels of NT-proBNP ,CA-125 and Hs-CRP were detected in CHF group and control group . The left ventricular ejection fraction(LVEF) were detected by echocardiography .Results The serum levels of NT-proBNP ,CA-125 and Hs-CRP of CHF group before treatment were significantly higher than those of control group (P<0 .01) ,and the serum levels increased with the degree of severity of heart failure .There were statistically significant difference among patients in NYHA classⅡ ,class Ⅲ and class Ⅳ (P< 0 .01) .There was a high correlation between NT-proBNP ,CA-125 and LVEF (NT-proBNP vs . LVEF ,r=0 .934 ,P<0 .01 ;CA-125 vs .LVEF ,r=0 .878 ,P<0 .01) ,a low correlation between Hs-CRP and LVEF(r=0 .437 ,P<0 .05) .Compared with the single marker detection ,the combined detection of NT-proBNP ,CA-125 and Hs-CRP increased the AUC .Conclusion The combined detection of NT-proBNP ,CA-125 and Hs-CRP can increase the value of the observed severity of heart failure .
