Abstract

Objective To investigate the relationship between the plasma level of brain natriuretic peptide(BNP) and disease severity in patients with acute myocardial infarction without ST-segment elevation(NSTEMI).Methods Eighty-one patients were divided into high BNP group(BNP≥150 pg/ml) and low BNP group(BNP150 pg/ml).All patients received coronary arteriography by Judking method,and were divided into normal group,angina groups A,B1,B2,and C.Results Compared with low BNP group, high BNP group had more patiens with type B and C angina[39(48.15%),16(19.8%),P0.05].Conclusions High plasma BNP in patients with NSTEMI is closely related to coronary heart disease severity.BNP is an important index to judge coronary heart disease severity in patients with NSTEMI.
