Abstract:
Objective To observe the correlation between plasma brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) level and atrial fibrillation (AF) in old patients with acute left heart failure.Methods 86 old patients with acute left heart failure were randomly divided into two groups according to AF and sinus rhythm.The plasma BNP level was compared between the twogroups.And the relationship between plasma BNP level and the results of ultrasonic cardiography was also assessed.Results Significant difference existed in BNP level between individuals with AF and sinus rhythm [(1 320.66 ± 1 546.41) pg/L vs (989.43 ± 1 042.57) pg/L,t =2.651,P ＜ 0.05] ; BNP level of the rhythm AF significantly correlated with LAD and LVEDD (r =0.723,0.645,all P ＜ 0.01).Conclusion The old patients with acute left heart failure and AF had higher BNP level than those with sinus rhythm.And BNP level of the rhythm AF significantly correlated with LAD and LVEDD.
