Abstract:
Objective To investigate the clinical value of the plasma N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide levels in patients with acute cardiac dyspnea or noncardiac dyspnea.Methods 93 patients with acute dyspnea were divided into two groups:cardiac dyspnea group(61 cases)and noncardiac dyspnea group(32 cases).In cardiac dyspnea group,according to the results of echocardiography,the cases were divided into three groups:pure diastolic heart failure(25 cases),pure systolic heart failure(21 cases)as well as diastolic and systolic heart failure(15 cases).At the same time,heart function was classified according to NYHA.The plasma NT-proBNP level was measured by ELISA.The data was analyzed by SPSS12.0.Results The plasma NT-proBNP level of the cases with cardiac dyspnea and noncardiac dyspnea was(3.591 ?2.943)ng/L and(0.429 ?0.119)ng/L respectively.There was a significant difference between cardiac dyspnea cases and noncardiac dyspnea cases(P
