Abstract: Objective To determine the evaluating prognostic value of plasma Nt-proBNP in patients with congestive heart failure.Methods 107 patients with congestive heart failure were included in this study,followed the degree of rehospitalization and mortality rate of the cured patients after left hospital.The plasma concentrations of Nt-proBNP were measured by enzymelinked immunozorbent assay(ELISA).Results Concentrations of Nt-proB-NP of Ⅱ,Ⅲ,Ⅳ classincation were(1129.8±383.2),(5849.7±567.6),(9506.3±492.4)ng/L in NYHA functional classification respectively(P<0.01);the plasma level of Nt-proBNP had significant positive correlation with NYHA functional classification(r=0.759,P<0.01).The degree of rehospitalization were(0.85±0.96),(1.98±0.86),(2.58±0.91)respectively(P<0.01);mortality rate were 8.3%,12.5%,45.2%respectively(P<0.01).Conclusion Plasma Nt-proBNP level may be the more important clinic value in evaluating prognosis in patients with congestive heart failure.
