STUDY OBJECTIVES • Relationship between Troponın-Tpro-BNP,D-Dimer, CRP,ESR and right ventricular dysfunction in patients with pulmonary embolism was investigated.
BNP Levin et al NEJM 1998;339: 321-328
Pro-BNP BNP(Brain natiuretic peptide) is present in human brain, but there is considerably more in cardiac ventricles and is released from ventricles in response to strecth and increased pressure Pro-BNP BNP + NT-proBNP (108 aa) (32 aa)
Troponin-T, ESR ve CRP • Troponin-T is released from damaged heart tissue and it is sensitive and spesific marker. • Troponin-T can increase in severe pulmonary embolism • ESR ve CRP are markers of inflammation
METOT • Number of 39 patients with PE was taken into study • Number of 17 (10 of them w RVD) (F/M:8/9; 63±17y/ 64±11y) patient without left-sided heart failure was evaluated for pro-BNP and Troponin-T values
METHODS • Clinical and laboratory findings with V/P sintigraphy and CT-angiography was used as dignostic methods • Serum of patients was taken in 12 hours of admission • Echocardiography for right ventricular dysfunction was performed to all patients in 24 hours of admission
Right Ventricular Dysfunction Criteria(RVD) • Right ventrikular dilatation(diastolik diameter >30 mm) • Right ventr/leftventr. end diastolic diameter ratio>1 • Right ventrikular hyphokinesis • Tricuspid insufficiency(jet velocity>2.5 m/s) Presence of one of the above means RVD
EXCLUSION CRITERIA 1- Patients with left ventricular heart failure 2- Patients with acute infection 3- Patients with Chronic inflamatory diseases 4- Patients under the age of 18
BULGULAR • Right ventricular dysfunction(RVD) was found in 10 patients. • 7 patients had no RVD.
p>0.05 6306 n=10 2312 n=7 RVD + RVD - RIGHT VENTRICULAR DYSFUNCTION N Value<500 pg/ml
p>0.05 0.08 n=10 0.03 n=7 RVD + RVD - RIGHT VENTRICULAR DYSFUNCTION N Value<0.01 ng/ml
p>0.05 68 n=18 46 n=12 RVD + RVD - RIGHT VENTRICULAR DYSFUNCTION 1 N Value <20 mm/sa
p>0.05 77 n=18 46 n=12 RVD + RVD - N Value<8 mg/L RIGHT VENTRICULAR DYSFUNCTION
p>0.05 2.32 n=10 1.72 n=7 RVD + RVD - RIGHT VENTRICULAR DYSFUNCTION N Value<0.5µ/ml
LITERATURE • Level of BNP, NT-proBNP, pro-BNP and Troponin-T is related to the right ventricular dysfunction and prognosis of PE • As far as we know there si no study to show relationship between ESR, CRP and right ventricular dysfunction
CONCLUSIONS • In conclusion, inflamatory markers including CRP and ESR in patient with PTE having RVD and cardiac markers including Troponin-T and pro-BNP in PTE patients with RVD show an increasing tendency compared to patients with PTE having no RVD.(non-significant) • Number of patients should be increased.
