We aimed to probe the clinical value of N-terminus pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP), myeloperoxidase (MPO), and neutrophil lymphocyte ratio (NLR) combined with echocardiography in the prediction of malignant arrhythmias (MA) in elderly patients with valvular heart disease (VHD).
MPO, NT-proBNP, and NLR were detected in blood samples. After 1 year of follow-up, receiver operating characteristic curves were analyzed to determine the clinical value of NT-proBNP, MPO, NLR, and echocardiography for predicting MA in patients with VHD.
MPO, NT-proBNP, and NLR were higher in the VHD group. MPO, NT-proBNP, and NLR were higher with severe cardiac dysfunction. MPO, NT-proBNP, NLR, and LVESV in the MA group were higher. NT-proBNP was an independent factor influencing the occurrence of MA in elderly patients with VHD. The AUC for predicting MA in elderly patients with VHD using NT-proBNP, MPO, NLR, and echocardiography were 0.782 (sensitivity 61.50%, specificity 94.60%, 95% CI 0.630-0.934), 0.759 (sensitivity 69.20%, specificity 81.10%, 95% CI 0.579-0.938), 0.736 (sensitivity 76.90%, specificity 64.90%, 95% CI 0.562-0.910), and 0.782 (sensitivity 76.90%, specificity 75.70%, 95% CI 0.646-0.918), respectively. The AUC for the combined prediction using NT-proBNP, MPO, NLR, and echocardiography was 0.913 (sensitivity 76.90%, specificity 94.60%, 95% CI 0.820-1.000), higher than that of each parameter alone (P < 0.05).
The combination of NT-proBNP, MPO, NLR, and echocardiography has a predictive value in detecting MA in elderly VHD patients.
我们旨在探讨N端前脑钠肽(NT-proBNP)、髓过氧化物酶(MPO)和中性粒细胞淋巴细胞比值(NLR)联合超声心动图在预测老年瓣膜性心脏病(VHD)患者恶性心律失常(MA)中的临床价值。
检测血样中的MPO、NT-proBNP和NLR。随访1年后,分析受试者工作特征曲线以确定NT-proBNP、MPO、NLR和超声心动图对预测VHD患者MA的临床价值。
VHD组的MPO、NT-proBNP和NLR较高。严重心脏功能不全时MPO、NT-proBNP和NLR更高。MA组的MPO、NT-proBNP、NLR和左室舒张末期容积(LVESV)更高。NT-proBNP是影响老年VHD患者发生MA的独立因素。使用NT-proBNP、MPO、NLR和超声心动图预测老年VHD患者MA的曲线下面积(AUC)分别为0.782(敏感性61.50%,特异性94.60%,95%可信区间0.630-0.934)、0.759(敏感性69.20%,特异性81.10%,95%可信区间0.579-0.938)、0.736(敏感性76.90%,特异性64.90%,95%可信区间0.562-0.910)和0.782(敏感性76.90%,特异性75.70%,95%可信区间0.646-0.918)。使用NT-proBNP、MPO、NLR和超声心动图联合预测的AUC为0.913(敏感性76.90%,特异性94.60%,95%可信区间0.820-1.000),高于各参数单独预测时(P<0.05)。
NT-proBNP、MPO、NLR和超声心动图联合检测对老年VHD患者MA具有预测价值。
