Clinical value of plasma N-termmal pro-brain natriuretic peptide for the diagnosis of heart failure

Tian Men

Abstract

Objective To investigate the clinical value of N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide(NT-proBNP)for the diagnosis of heart failure.Methods Plasma NT-pro BNP were detected by multi-function immunity examination instrument.One hundred and forty patients were devided into heart failure group and non-heart failure group.Results The plasma NT-proBNP level in heart failure group was higher that in non-heart failure group and control group.There was positive comelation between NT-proBNP and NYHA grading.Conclusion NT-proBNP plays an important role in diagnosis,differential diagnosis and prognosis predicting of heart failure.
