Diagnostic value of plasma BNP detection in heart failure

Jiang Hu

Abstract

Objective To investigate the changes of plasma leve of brain natriuretic peptide(BNP) in patients with various heart diseases.Methods Plasma BNP levels in 106 patients with heart disease and 65 controls were determined with ELISA.Results Plasma BNP levels in the heart disease patients were significantly higher than those in the controls.Conclusion The dynamic changes of plasma BNP levels may participate in the course of development of heart disease.The plasma BNP detection has broad practical value in clinic.
