Abstract
Actuality: NT-B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) has been recognized as a powerful cardiovascular biomarker for a number of disease states, specifically heart failure. Objective: To analyze the specifics of clinical course of pregnancy in women with cardiac diseases. Material and methods: The level of N-terminal brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) was measured by electrochemiluminiscent analyzer Cobas e411 (Roche, Swiss) at 34±6 week of pregnancy. Results: Level of NTproBNP was higher than 125 pg/mL in 12 patients (21,4%) and its mean value was 330,3±54,7 pg/mL; in women with increased NT-proBNP complications in cardiovascular system developed 3 times more often. Conclusion: NT-proBNP have established guideline-recommended roles in the diagnosis and prognosis of patients with suspected or known heart failure.
