Effect of non-ischemic factors on hs-cTnT in elderly hospitalized patients
Abstract：Objective To analyze the effect of non-ischemic factors on hs-cTnT in elderly hospital-ized patients .Methods Six hundred and seventy elderly hospitalized patients without acute coro-nary syndrome were divided into low hs-cTnT group (n= 232) ,moderate hs-cTnT group (n=237) and high hs-cTnT group (n = 201) .The patients underwent echocardiography .Their hs-cTnT and NT-proBNP levels were measured .Results The incidence of diabetes mellitus and chronic kidney disease ,abnormal ventricular wall motion ,age ,heart rate ,WBC ,serum hs-CRP and NT-proBNP level ,and LVMI were significantly higher while the eGFR and LVEF were signifi-cantly lower in low hs-cTnT group than in moderate hs-cTnT group (P< 0 .05 ,P< 0 .01) . Spearman analysis showed that the hs-cTnT level was related with gender (r=0.225) ,age (r=0.338) ,lgNT-proBNP (r=0 .394) ,eGFR (r= -0 .253) ,diabetes mellitus (r=0.138) ,LVMI (r=0 .186) ,LVEF (r= -0 .261) and heart rate (r= 0 .081 ,P<0 .05 ,P< 0 .01) .Conclusion The hs-cTnT level is slightly higher in elderly hospitalized patients without acute coronary syndrome and is related with gender ,age ,NT-proBNP ,eGFR ,diabetes mellitus ,LVMI ,LVEF and heart rate ,indicating that the prognosis of elderly hospitalized patients without acute coronary syn-drome is poor .
