摘要

Objectives To assess the prognostic value of B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) in severe AMI patients treated with intra-aortic ballon counterpulsation(IABP).Methods A total of 42 AMI patients with cardiogenic shock were retrospectively studied.BNP plasma level was recorded in the 24th hour and 4th day after myocardial infarction.The different mortality were compared among patients with different BNP levels.Results With aggressive treatment,20 patients survived short term hospitalization.Plasma concentration of BNP in dying patients is much higher than in survivals (1369±353 vs 651±302 pg/ml.P＜0.01).Patients with BNP higher than 1474 pg/mL had a mortality of 92.9%.Conclusions Elevated BNP level in AMI patients with cardiogenic shock treated with IABP is highly associated with poor prognosis.
