Abstract:
Objective To observe the changes of renal function in elderly patients with heart failure but normal ejection fraction,and explore its clinical significance. Methods A total of 145 cases diagnosed as coronary artery disease from Department of Geriatric Cardiology in The First Affili?ated Hospital of China Medical University were enrolled in the study. All of the cases were divided into HFPEF group(65 cases)and non HFPEF group(80 cases). All patients underwent cardiac ultrasound,BNP and renal function examination,and the glomerular filtration rate(GFR)was cal?culated. Results The average age of patients in HFPEF group was significantly higher than non HFPEF group(P<0.001),and the incidence of hypertension,diabetes,coronary heart disease,atrial fibrillation,or concomitant incidence of two or more kinds of these disease in HFPEF group was significantly higher than non HFPEF group(P1=0.046,P2<0.001,P3=0.002,P4=0.021,P5<0.001);the GFR of two groups of patients were lower than normal level,but the GFR of HFPEF group was significantly lower than non HFPEF group(P=0.046);E/Em was significantly higher (P<0.001),Em was significantly lower(P=0.002),left atrial diameter was significantly higher(P<0.001),LVEF was significantly lower(P=0.012),BNP values were significantly higher(P=0.001)in HFPEF group than in the non?HFPEF group;There were significant linear correlation between GFR and E/Em(r=-0.428,P=0.001),GFR and the BNP(r=-0.435,P=0.001),E/Em and BNP(r=0.392,P=0.002)in HFPEF group. Conclusion Elderly patients with heart failure but normal ejection fraction were older,and more of them were complicated with hyperten?sion,diabetes,coronary heart disease,atrial fibrillation,or concurrency of these diseases. Glomerular filtration rate was significantly decreased in el?derly patients with HFPEF,which has a significant correlation with diastolic function parameters.
