Elevated B-Type Natriuretic Peptide Levels (BNP) with Association between Unstable Angina and Non-ST-Segment Myocardial Infarction patients

Abstract

INTRODUCTION:To assess the elevation of B-type natriuretic peptide among angiographic findings with patient of unstable angina and non-ST elevated myocardial infarction. METHODS: This study population around 72 was carried out between 2018-2019 on patients who underwent coronary angiogram in Chettinad Super Specialty Hospital, Kelambakkam. RESULTS: Thousand coronary angiograms were performed in Chettinad hospital during theperiod of 2018-2019. There was totally 72 patients showed elevation of BNP. (47%) had BNP <80pg/ml and (52%)had BNP>80pg/ml. Elevation of BNP levels were affected in the age group of 50 to 60 yrs. Diabetic mellitus (17%)was most common risk factors affecting the B-type natriuretic peptide levels followed by hypertension(25%). Among study population Non-ST elevated MI (66%) is higher when compared with an unstable angina (33%). Among the study population mostly patients were affected single vessel disease (45%) and the culprit artery was LAD (27%) among patients with BNP>80pg/ml. CONCLUSION: Among 1000 patients who underwent coronary angiogram in Chettinad Hospital, the occurrence of elevation of BNP levels was 72. Most of the patients' were males (63%), associate with diabetic mellitus (17%). Majority of patient have single vessel disease (45%) and the culprit artery is LAD (Left
