 PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 8 Elderly patients with AMI before and after emergency PCI NTproBNP levels on the predictive value of heart function Of: Yang Guangyuan Liu Mingyuan Muchun Ping Fan-Lei Yi Zhang Jianhua and Li-Bo Wang [Abstract] Objective To study acute myocardial infarction (AMI patients with primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI before and after the plasma amino-terminal B-type natriuretic peptide (NT proBNP) levels in the prediction of cardiac function. Methods 52 patients aged (62 to 79 years old on admission in patients with AMI and 7 d after emergency PCI immunofluorescence method for the determination of plasma NT proBNP concentrations before and after treatment according to PCI significantly reduced the degree of change are divided into groups (A group and no significant decrease group (B group ) were compared PCI and 180 d after 15 d heart function by echocardiography parameters. Results After PCI, 180 d A group of left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF and E / A ratio was significantly higher than that of B group, the difference statistically significant (P lt;0.01), left ventricular end diastolic diameter (LVDd, left ventricular isovolumic relaxation time (IVRT was significantly lower than the B group, the difference was statistically significant (P lt;0.05). Conclusion Emergency PCI postoperative plasma NT proBNP levels can predict the dynamic changes in cardiac function in patients with AMI aged. [Keywords:] acute myocardial infarction, N-terminal B-type natriuretic peptide, cardiac function Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) as a treatment for acute myocardial infarction (AMI) the most effective method has been widely accepted and applied, that can be quickly restored coronary blood flow and reduce infarct size, preserved cardiac function. Plasma amino terminal B-type natriuretic peptide (NT proBNP) as a B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) of metabolites, has been widely used in heart failure diagnosis and treatment,
