Role of N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide in the prediction of outcomes in ST-elevation myocardial infarction complicated by cardiogenic shock.

ABSTRACT: Although measurements of natriuretic peptides have a role in chronic heart failure and acute coronary syndrome, their role has not been studied in ST-elevation myocardial infarction complicated by cardiogenic shock (CS-STEMI). Sixty-four patients with CS-STEMI were prospectively recruited to assess the prognostic value of N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) measurement after 24 h of the onset of angina or anginal equivalent. Patients who died within 24 h were excluded. The mean age was 56.9 ± 10.6 years and the median time to presentation was 22 h (Interquartile range 7-48 h). Thrombolysis was done in 51% and PCI in 31% of cases. The in-hospital mortality was 26.5%. The ROC analysis showed a strong relationship between elevated NT-proBNP and in-hospital mortality (AUC = 0.748; p = 0.003). An NT-proBNP value > 8582 pg/mL showed 76.5% sensitivity, 68% specificity, 46.4% positive predictive value, and 89% negative predictive value for in-hospital mortality. Acute kidney injury [Odds ratio (OR) 7.30; 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.42-37.37] and NT-proBNP (OR 1.12 per 1000 pg/mL; CI 1.012-1.25) were independent predictors of mortality in multivariate regression analysis. Although we found plasma NT-proBNP at 24 h to be an independent predictor of in-hospital mortality in CS-STEMI, additional studies with a larger sample are required to ascertain these findings and validate the appropriate cut-off values.
