Abstract:
Objective To study the differential diagnostic value of serum N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide(NT-proBNP)in the patients with acute dyspnea.Methods Sixty-two patients in Medical Department of the People's Hospital of Huangpu were included in this study.Patients were divided into two groups:dyspneic patients with heart failure and without heart failure.Thirty healthy cases were selected as the control group.The concentration of serum NT-proBNP,LVEF was determined in all cases.We analyzed the relationship between NT-proBNP and LVEF.Furthermore we analyzed the relationship between NT-proBNP and the NYHA Class.Results LVEF of the control group,dyspneic patients without heart failure and with heart failure was(60.82?5.53)%,(55.92?5.62)% and(40.25?4.85)%.It had significant difference in the control group,dyspneic patients without heart failure and with heart failure(P
