We investigated whether a simple blood test of plasma N-brain natriuretic peptide (N-BNP), compared with echocardiographic left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), both measured at rest, correlated well with aerobic exercise capacity (peak oxygen consumption [VO(2)]) in patients with chronic heart failure. Plasma N-BNP was found to significantly correlate with peak VO(2) (p <0.001) and exercise duration (p = 0.001), whereas LVEF showed very poor correlations with peak VO(2) and exercise duration (both p >0.3). The results suggest that N-BNP actually reflects functional cardiac impairment better than LVEF.
我们研究了在静息状态下测量的血浆N端脑钠肽(N-BNP)简单血液检测与超声心动图左心室射血分数(LVEF)相比,是否与慢性心力衰竭患者的有氧运动能力(峰值耗氧量[VO₂])具有良好的相关性。结果发现,血浆N-BNP与峰值VO₂(p<0.001)和运动持续时间(p = 0.001)显著相关,而LVEF与峰值VO₂和运动持续时间的相关性非常差(两者p>0.3)。结果表明,N-BNP实际上比LVEF更能反映心脏功能损害。
