Changes in N-terminal pro B-type natriuretic peptide concentration: comparative study of percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty and off-pump coronary artery bypass graft
The goal of this study was to compare the effects of different reperfusion methods on N-terminal B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) in percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) or off-pump coronary artery bypass (OPCAB) patients. Fifty subjects were enrolled in the study, 32 patients...

Zusammenfassung: | The goal of this study was to compare the effects of different reperfusion methods on N-terminal B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) in percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) or off-pump coronary artery bypass (OPCAB) patients. Fifty subjects were enrolled in the study, 32 patients received PTCA and 18 OPCAB. An NT-proBNP measurement was performed before intervention and at 1, 3, and 7 days after the procedures. NT-proBNP levels were not significantly different before intervention (PTCA group 297+/-147.3 vs. OPCAB group 235+/-167.8 pg/mL, p>0.05). However, 1 day after the procedures, NT-proBNP levels were higher in the OPCAB group (PTCA 375+/-256.4 vs. OPCAB 1,415+/-737.6 pg/mL, p |
