N-Terminal Pro Brain Natriuretic Peptide as a Predictor of Short Term Outcomes in Acute Inferior and Anterior St Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Applied Medical Sciences - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 2
Abstract
Abstract: Risk stratification and prediction of high risk for mortality in patients with acute myocardial infarction is based on clinical evaluation, electrocardiogram, biochemical markers and various risk assessment scores. Our study aims to assess the level of acute inferior and anterior ST segment elevation myocardial infarction and to assess the short term prognostic value of N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide on admission in acute inferior and anterior myocardial infarction in predicting the short term outcomes in acute inferior and anterior ST elevation myocardial infarction. The NT-pro-BNP level is significantly high in inferior and anterior wall myocardial infarction. Out of 50 patients 18 patients had complications and showed significant rise of NT-pro-BNP levels in both inferior and anterior wall myocardial infarction. Cardiac failure comprised the majority 18% (9 subjects). Arrhythmias comprised 10% (5 subjects). Conduction block comprised 8% (4 subjects). And 3 patients succumbed to death. There was a significant rise of NT-pro-BNP in patients with complication.
