Clinical significance of detection of brain natriuretic peptide and high sensitive C-reactive protein in the serum of patients with acute heart failure

WU Ping-shen

Abstract

Objective To analyze the levels of serum brain natriuretic peptide (BNP)and high sensitive C-reactive protein in patients with acute heart failures. Methods The levels of serum BNP and hs-CRP from 35 acute heart failure patients were measured ,analyzed and compared with 31 healthy individuals. Results The re significant differences in levels of serum BNP and hs -CRP between the acute heart failure group and healthy group were observed (P 0.005). Conclusion BNP and hs-CRP are are two important indicators for diagnosis of acute heart failure.
