Predictive value of Tei index and plasma brain natriuretic peptide on long-term prognosis in patients with anterior myocardial infarction / 重庆医学

ABSTRACT

Objective To explore the predictive value of Tei index and plasma brain natriuretic peptide(BNP) on major adverse cardiovascular events(MACE) during long term follow up in the patients with anteriormyocardial infarction(MI).Methods A total of 238 patients with anterior MI were selected and divided into four groups according to the median of Tei index and BNPG1 group(Tei≤0.66,BNP≤532.60 ng/mL,n=70),G2 group(Tei≤0.66,BNP＞532.60 ng/mL,n=51),G3 group(Tei＞0.66,BNP≤532.60 ng/mL,n=50) and G4 group(Tei＞0.66,BNP＞532.60 ng/mL,n=67).The follow up end was the MACE occurrence.Results There was a significant positive correlation between the Tei index and BNP(r=0.582,P=0.000).Tei entered the BNP regression equation(β=0.658,P＜0.05).The MACE-free survival rate had no statistical difference among 4 groups(x2 =9.975,P=0.019).The Cox regression analysis showed that Tei index and BNP were the independent predictive factors for MACE.Tei combined with BNP had stronger predictive value to MACE(AUC=0.781,95CI0.721-0.841,P=0.000),its sensitivity was 72.52％ and specificity was 76.89％.Conclusion Tei combined with BNP has stronger predictive value for anterior MI during long term follow up.
