[Predictive value of NT-proBNP on admission on left ventricular ejection fraction and in-patients major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events in hospitalized patients with unstable angina].

To explore the predictive value of N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) on admission on left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and the in-hospital major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCE) in hospitalized patients with unstable angina (UA). Data of 2 972 consecutive hospitalized patients with UA in Beijing Friendship Hospital from January 2013 to September 2017 were retrospective analyzed. Patients were divided into 4 groups according to the level of NT-proBNP on admission: 733 cases with NT-proBNP lower than 61 ng/L, 749 cases with NT-proBNP between 61 and 133 ng/L, 747 cases with NT-proBNP between 133 and 326 ng/L, and 743 cases with NT-proBNP higher than 326 ng/L. LVEF and in-hospital MACCE were compared among 4 groups and the predictive value of NT-proBNP on admission on LVEF and in-hospital MACCE was determined by multiple logistical regression analysis. LVEF value became lower with increasing on admission NT-proBNP value ((68.4±4.8)%, (68.2±5.2)%, (67.2±6.7)% and (62.6±10.4)%, 77.98, 0.01), while in-hospital MACCE was higher with increasing on admission NT-proBNP value (3.4% (25/733), 3.5% (26/749), 5.5% (41/747) and 7.3% (54/743), χ(2)=16.23, 0.01) in NT-proBNP lower than 61 ng/L, NT-proBNP between 61 and 133 ng/L, NT-proBNP between 133 and 326 ng/L, and NT-proBNP higher than 326 ng/L group. Multiple logistic regression analysis showed that on admission NT-proBNP was an independent predictor for LVEF50% ((β)=5.875, 95 3.382-10.207, 0.001), but not predictor for in-hospital MACCE ((β)=0.783, 95 0.400-1.996, 0.783). The on admission NT-proBNP level is an independent predictor of left ventricular systolic dysfunction (LVEF50%), but not an independent predictor of total in-hospital MACCE in hospitalized patients with UA.
