Abstract

The aim – to study the relationship between the level of NT-proBNP, clinical-anamnestic and echocardiographic parameters in patients with pulmonary embolism (PE).
Materials and methods. The study was carried out on 45 patients with PE, which was confirmed by computed tomo­­graphy. An echocardiographic study was carried out during hospitalization of patients according to the standard protocol. The examination plan of patients, along with standard laboratory tests, included the determination of the level of highly sensitive troponin I, C-reactive peptide (CRP) and NT-proBNP.
Results and discussion. The level of NT-proBNP is increased in patients with PE, even in the absence of heart failure (2932±266 pg/ml). There were no significant differences in the level of the indicator depending on the gender of patients (p=0.3), on the presence of arterial hypertension (p=0.92) and the concomitant oncological process (p=0.88). A correlation was found between NT-proBNP level and the size of the right and left atrium: right atrium (p=0.014), left atrium (p=0.025). The relationship between the level of NT-proBNP and the pressure in the pulmonary artery according to ultrasound data was proved (in patients with PE without signs of pulmonary hypertension, the level of NT-proBNP is
405 pg/ml, versus 4067 pg/ml in the group of patients with increased pressure in the pulmonary artery (p=0.0047). A correlation was found between the levels of NT-proBNP and CRP.
Conclusions. There is a significant increase in the level of NT-proBNP in patients with PE, the degree of which correlates with an increase in the size of the right atrium and pressure in the pulmonary artery (p=0.0047).
