Abstract
Objective: To investigate the value of N-terminal pro B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP), high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), and homocysteine (Hcy) levels in predicting cardiovascular events (CV) in patients with chronic heart failure (CHF). Methods: A total of 63 patients with CHF admitted to our hospital between June 2019 and July 2021 were selected. Their NT-proBNP, hs-CRP, and Hcy levels were detected at discharge, and a 12-month follow-up was done after their discharge to collect clinical data. The collected data were inclusive of data from 21 CHF patients with cardiovascular disease and 42 CHF patients without cardiovascular disease. The effect of NT-proBNP, hs-CRP, and Hcy levels on the occurrence of CV was analyzed. Results: The levels of NT-proBNP, hs-CRP, and Hcy in the group with cardiovascular disease were significantly higher than those in the group without cardiovascular disease (P < 0.05); the levels of serum NT-proBNP, hs-CRP, and Hcy at discharge had certain value in predicting short-term CV in CHF patients (P < 0.05). Conclusion: NT-proBNP, hs-CRP, and Hcy levels can be used to predict CV in CHF patients, thus having clinical application value.
