To test the diagnostic performance of BNP and NT-ProBNP in children with different hemodynamic dysfunctions.
Seventy children who underwent echocardiography and were classified into left and right ventricle volume and pressure overload (LVvO, LVpO, RVvO, and RVpO, respectively) and biventricular volume overload (BVvO) were enrolled.
BNP and NT-ProBNP levels in all groups were higher than those in the control group (p<0.001, p<0.001). The increase in peptide levels was strongly correlated with the severity of heart failure (p<0.001, p<0.001). There was no significant difference in peptide levels in-between LVvO, LVpO, RVvO, RVpO and BVvO groups. Both measurements were significantly correlated (r=0.76, p<0.001) with each other. NT-ProBNP showed a high sensitivity, whereas BNP showed a high specificity and accuracy. AUCs in ROC-curve were 0.97 for BNP and 0.96 for NT-ProBNP.
NT-ProBNP may be used in screening of risk groups for cardiac failure because of its' higher sensitivity, but BNP may be specifically used in monitoring patients with heart failure.
检测 BNP 和 NT-ProBNP 在不同血流动力学功能障碍患儿中的诊断性能。
共纳入 70 名接受超声心动图检查并分为左心室和右心室容量和压力超负荷(LVvO、LVpO、RVvO 和 RVpO,分别)和双心室容量超负荷(BVvO)的患儿。
所有组的 BNP 和 NT-ProBNP 水平均高于对照组(p<0.001,p<0.001)。肽水平的升高与心力衰竭的严重程度强烈相关(p<0.001,p<0.001)。LVvO、LVpO、RVvO、RVpO 和 BVvO 组之间肽水平无显著差异。两种测量结果均呈显著相关性(r=0.76,p<0.001)。NT-ProBNP 具有较高的敏感性,而 BNP 具有较高的特异性和准确性。ROC 曲线下的 AUC 为 BNP 的 0.97 和 NT-ProBNP 的 0.96。
由于其较高的敏感性,NT-ProBNP 可用于心力衰竭高危人群的筛查,但 BNP 可专门用于监测心力衰竭患者。
