Abstract
Association between Elevated N-Terminal Pro-Brain Natriuretic Peptide and Cardiovascular Complication among Type-2 Diabetic Patients in Gaza Strip
Highlights
The prevalence of T2DM gradually increases in the world especially with present a family history [1]
The results of the study showed that the average of NT-B-Type Natriuretic Peptide (BNP) level was higher statistically significant in T2DM with CVD compared without CVD and controls
Results of this study recommended that serum NT-BNP not utility as a cardiac biomarker in CVDs predication in T2DM patients
Summary
The prevalence of T2DM gradually increases in the world especially with present a family history [1]. Screening for renal and eyes complications is already a recognized part of routine T2DM health care today, but there is no similar reoccurring screening for CVD of diabetes [2,3]. This may be due to not available of costeffective methods and time consuming for an echocardiographical examination. T2DM is more incidences among patients with heart disease [5]. Patients with T2DM have an irregular elevated in left ventricular mass independent of blood pressure [7]. A meta-analysis showed that left ventricular hypertrophy has been
