Role of N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide in the prediction of outcomes in ST-elevation myocardial infarction complicated by cardiogenic shock.

ABSTRACT: Although measurements of natriuretic peptides have a role in chronic heart failure and acute coronary syndrome, their role has not been studied in ST-elevation myocardial infarction complicated by cardiogenic shock (CS-STEMI). Sixty-four patients with CS-STEMI were prospectively recruited to assess the prognostic value of N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) measurement after 24 h of the onset of angina or anginal equivalent. Patients who died within 24 h were excluded. The mean age was 56.9 ± 10.6 years and the median time to presentation was 22 h (Interquartile range 7-48 h). Thrombolysis was done in 51% and PCI in 31% of cases. The in-hospital mortality was 26.5%. The ROC analysis showed a strong relationship between elevated NT-proBNP and in-hospital mortality (AUC = 0
