Abstract:
Objective To measure the levels of blood lipid and plasma N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide(NT-proBNP), cardiac troponin I(CTnI) and high sensitive C-reaction protein(hs-CRP) in patients with chronic heart failure(CHF), and carry out clinical analysis.
Methods The blood lipid and plasma NT-proBNP, CTnI and hs-CRP levels in 165 patients with CHF and 60 controls were analyzed by chemistry, fluorescent immunoassay and radioimmunoassay, and then the results were analyzed and compared.
Results The serum TC, TG, LDL-C and HDL-C levels in 165 patients with CHF were significantly lower than those of 60 controls(TC:tⅡ=2.214, P < 0.05; tⅢ=2.873, P < 0.01; tⅣ=3.146; P < 0.01; TG:tⅡ=2.167, P < 0.05; tⅢ=2.863, P < 0.01; tⅣ=3.063, P < 0.01; LDL-C:tⅡ=2.147, P < 0.05; tⅢ=2.056, P < 0.05; tⅣ=2.184, P < 0.05; HDL-C:tⅡ=2.137, P < 0.05; tⅢ=2.256, P < 0.05; tⅣ=3.148, P < 0.01). In biomarkers determining, the plasma NT-proBNP, CTnI and hs-CRP levels in 165 patients with CHF were significantly higher than those of 60 controls(NT-proBNP:tⅡ=2.096, P > 0.05; tⅢ=2.813, P < 0.01; tⅣ=4.135, P < 0.001; CTnI:tⅡ=2.736, P < 0.01; tⅢ=2.962, P < 0.01; tⅣ=3.816, P < 0.01 and hs-CRP:tⅡ=2.103, P < 0.05; tⅢ=2.956, P < 0.01; tⅣ=4.452, P < 0.001), and the plasma three biomarker levels were increased with decreasing left ventricular ejection function(LVEF).
Conclusion The blood lipid(TC, TG, LDL-C and HDL-C) levels were decreased with decreasing LVEF and showing abnormal metabolism, but the plasma biomarkers levels were increased with decreasing LVEF.
