The Value of Echocardiography Combined with NT-pro BNP Level in Assessment and Prognosis of Diastolic Heart Failure.

ABSTRACT:

Background

To investigate the significance of echocardiography combined with N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-pro BNP) levels in the evaluation and prognosis of diastolic heart failure (DHF).

Methods

Clinical data were collected from 168 patients with DHF. Serum levels of NT-pro BNP were first measured by ELISA. Meanwhile, the echocardiography was used to examine left ventricular end-diastolic diameter (LVEDD), left ventricular diameter (LVD), and other parameters. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed for variables in heart failure assessment grade or poor prognosis. Finally, the predictive ability for New York Heart Association (NYHA) class as well as prognosis was assessed by ROC curves.

Results

NT-pro BNP was the overexpression in th
