Estabilidad de NT-proBNP en pacientes con insuficiencia cardiaca sistólica
چکیده انگلیسی
Natriuretic peptides are extremely useful in the diagnosis and prognosis of patients with heart failure. However, it is not clear whether their values are stable. We carried out a prospective study of 30 consecutive ambulatory patients (mean age, 62.6 [12.2] years) with stable systolic heart failure, as determined by the 6- minute walk test, who were in New York Heart Association class II or III and who had a left ventricular ejection fraction <30% (mean ejection fraction, 24.2% [6.68%]). At baseline, the mean N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) level and the mean distance walked in 6 minutes were 2237.3 pg/mL and 348.26 m, respectively. At 3-month follow-up, the corresponding values were 2096.2 pg/mL and 372.05 m, respectively. No significant difference was observed in NT-proBNP level or in distance walked in 6 minutes between baseline and 3 months (P=.8). Overall, there was a good correlation (r=0.94; P<.001) between the plasma NT-proBNP level at baseline and at 3 months in patients with stable chronic heart failure due to systolic dysfunction in New York Heart Association class II or III.
