Abstract：Objective To evaluate the diagnostic value of noninvasive indicators of heart failure (HF) on HF with normal ejection fraction (HFNEF) by comparing them with left ventricular end diastolic pressure (LVEDP).Meth-ods Fifty -nigh cases of coronary heart disease were examined with E /A and E/E′by echocardiogram, plasma NT -proBNP, and et al.Coronary angiography was performed to evaluate Gensini score , Rentrop score and LVEDP.These pa-tients were divided into two groups : normal left ventricular diastolic function (LVDF) group (LVEDP≤16 mmHg) and abnormal LVDF group (LVEDP >16 mmHg).Results Significant increase in FBS, NT -proBNP, Gensini score and E/E′were observed in abnormal LVDF group (P <0.05).LVEDP was significantly correlated with NT -proBNP (P =0.000) and E/E′(P =0.001).Conclusion There is close relationship between coronary stenosis severity and LVDF . E/E′and NT -proBNP could reflect LVDF, providing valid clinical indicators to evaluate HFNEF in coronary heart disease .
