Abstract

NT-proBNP is marker of acute heart failure. Recent investigation implicate its role in different cardiac and non-cardiac diseases and different mechanism of release in patients with STEMI and NSTEMI. Our study included 66 patients with diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction, hospitalized in Clinical Centre Kragujevac. We evaluated standard biochemical analysis including NTproBNP, electrocardiography, transthoracic echocardiography and coronary angiography. The most common cardiovascular risk factors were emotional stress (93,94%), and physical inactivity( 81,82%). NT-proBNP values were higher in patients with AMI vs health volunteers (943 vs. 162,5 pg/ml, p = 0,0001), NSTEMI vs STEMI patients (1427 pg/ml vs. 592 pg/m, p = 0,005), patients with culprit lesion on left vs right coronary artery (1421 vs. 548, p =0.02), and anterior vs inferior location AMI (1714vs. 625, p =0.022). We found positive correlation NT-proBNP values with CRP, urea, creatinine, and negative correlation with triglicerides, hemoglobin, left ventricular ejection fraction. Higher values of NT-proBNP values are recorded in patients with AMI, NSTEMI, anterior location AMI and with culprit lesion on left coronary artery.
