Correlation Between Peripheral White Blood Cell and Cardiac Troponin I,N-terminal pro-B-type Natriuretic Peptide in A-cute ST-elevated Myocardial Infarction Patients
Abstract：Objective To evaluate the correlation between peripheral white blood cell ( WBC) count and cardiac troponin I ( cTnI) and N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide(NT-proBNP )in acute ST-elevated myocardial infarction(STEMI) patients.Methods A total of 146 patients with acute STEMI were categorized into WBC elevated group (WBC>10 ×109/L)and WBC normal group(WBC≤10 ×109/L) according to the levels of WBC .Clinical characteristics were compared between the two groups .The levels of WBC ,cTnI and NT-proBNP were measured in all patients .Results Compared with WBC normal group ,cTnI and NT-proBNP levels were significantly elevated in elevated group .There were the positive correlation between WBC count and cTnI ,and NT-proBNP levels.Conclusion The WBC level of acute STEMI patients is closely associated with cTnI and NT -proBNP levels.WBC as inflammatory markers may indirectly reflect the size and severity of myocardial infarction with acute STEMI patients .
