Abstract：Objective To study the correlation between N terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide and cardiac troponin in patients with severe coronary artery disease.Methods The clinical data of 282 hospitalized patients in ICU and CCU with severe coronary artery disease were retrospectively observed from January to December 2012.The patients were divided into acute myocardial infarction group (AMI,104),acute heart failure group (AHF,60) and acute coronary syndrome group (ACS,118).The correlations were analyzed through the nonparametric Spearman test.Results The correlations between N terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide and cardiac troponin was positively moderate(P ＜0.01),while correlation coefficient of N terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide and cardiac troponin T was 0.569 (P ＜ 0.01),correlation coefficients of N terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide and cardiac troponin I was 0.568 (P ＜ 0.01) in acute myocardial infarction group.Correlation coefficient of cardiac troponin T and cardiac troponin I was 0.999 (P ＜ 0.01).There was a good linear relation between them.Conclusions There is a moderately positive correlation between N terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide and cardiac troponin.There is a highly positive correlation between cardiac troponin T and cardiac troponin I.
