Title: Correlation between B-type natriuretic peptide and D-dimer in patients with heart failure
Abstract: Objective To elucidate the correlation between B-type natriuretic peptide(BNP) and D-dimer in patients with heart failure.Methods BNP, D-dimer were assessed in 79 paients with heart failure and 20 normal controls.Results (1) The serum BNP and D-dimer were higher in patients with heart failure than that in normal controls(P0.001).(2) There were positive correlation(P0.001)between serum BNP and D-dimer in patients with heart failure.Conclusion (1)The patients with heart failure are abnormal coagulative and fibrinolytic system .(2) BNP is correlated with serum D-dimer and increased in patients with heart failure.
