Abstract：Objective To investigate the evaluation value of plasma NT-proBNP descent rate to curative effect and prognosis in patients with chronic heart failure (CHF). Methods CHF patients (n=120) with NYHA grading from grade III to grade IV of were chosen from the Central Hospital of Baotou City from Oct. 2011 to Jun. 2012, and then divided into group A (n=64, NT-proBNP descent rate≥50%) and group B (n=56, NT-proBNP descent rate<50%) according to NT-proBNP descent rate. The general data [age, sex, body mass index (BMI), and complications (hypertension, diabetes and hyperlipidemia)], curative effect at discharge time, and readmission and mortality after discharge for 6 months were compared between 2 groups. Results The effective rate was 87.5%in group A and 71.4%in group B (P<0.05) at discharge time. The readmission rate was 6.3%in group A and 21.4%in group B, and mortality was 1.6%in group A and 12.5%in group B (P<0.05) after discharge for 6 months. Conclusion NT-proBNP descent rate is helpful to judge the curative effect and prognosis for hospitalized CHF patients.
