Abstract:
Objective To investigate the diagnostic value of plasma cardiac troponin Ⅰ (cTnI) and brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) for heart failure complicated with pneumonia in children.Methods 30 children of heart failure complicated with pneumonia (heart failure group),30 children with pneumonia in acute phase (pneumonia group) and 30 healthy children (control group) were selected.The levels of plasma cTnI and BNP in the heart failure group were detected in acute phase(6-24h) and recovery phase(5-7d),and the results were compared with pneumonia group and control group.Results The levels of plasma cTnI and BNP in the heart failure group were significantly higher than those in the pneumonia group and control group(F =5.303,4.632,all P ＜ 0.05).The levels of plasma cTnI and BNP were not significantly different between the pneumonia group and control group(P ＞ 0.05).The levels of plasma cTnI and BNP in recovery phase of the heart failure group were significantly lower than those in acute phase of the heart failure group (t =4.291,5.393,all P ＜ 0.05),but there were no siganificant differences compared with the pneumonia group and control group(P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion The plasma cTnI and BNP maybe a reliable index in the diagnosis of heart failure complicated with pneumonia in children.
