Abstract
Objective To investigate the relationship of plasma BNP level and myocardial infarction size,and to discuss the relationship of BNP and AMI short-term prognosis.Methods 102 AMI patients were selected for research,which were divided into anteriorwall acutemyocardial infarction group(67 cases)and inferiorwall acutemyocardial infarction group(35 cases)according to different ischemic areas.We recorded the myocardial infarction size after they were be hospitalized,and observed the early cardiovascular events in two groups.Results Comparison of BNP levels and myocardial infarction size in two different myocardial infarction parts showsed,anteriorwall acutemyocardial infarction group's BNP was significantly higher than inferiorwall acutemyocardial infarction group,the difference has statistically significant means,P0.05.BNP levels were related with myocardial infarction size,and the bigger myocardial infarction size,the higher BNP expresses.In this this group there were 21 cases of heart failure,death in 7 cases.The BNP levels of heart failure,death patients were higher than those who hadn't,the difference had statistically significant means,P0.05.Conclusion BNP levels are related with myocardial infarction size.The bigger myocardial infarction size,the higher BNP expresses.BNP levels are kind of early independent predictor of cardiovascular events.
