The significance of CRP and cardiac troponin I in the diagnosis of heart failure

Objective To investigate clinical significance of CRP and cardiac troponin I(cTnI)in the diagnosis of chronic heart failure. Methods 80 cases of patients with chronic heart failure from September 2011 to November 2013 in our hospital were selected as observation group,the same period in our hospital for medical examination of 80 cases of healthy people were selected as control group,the serum CRP and cTnI in two groups was detected respectively. Results The level of CRP and cTnI in observation group was significantly higher than that in control group respectively,with statistical difference(P0.05).The positive rate of CRP and cTnI in observation group was 70.0% and 77.5% respectively,significantly higher than that in control group(3.8%,5.0%),with statistical difference(P0.05). Conclusion CRP and cTnI in the diagnosis of chronic heart failure in clinic has better value,which is worthy of promotion and application.
