The role of NT-proBNP in the diagnostics of isolated diastolic dysfunction: correlation with echocardiographic and invasive measurements
Abstract
AIMS: Diastolic heart failure is a frequent entity but difficult to diagnose. N-terminal pro-B type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) was therefore investigated as a possible non-invasive parameter to diagnose isolated diastolic dysfunction. METHODS AND RESULTS: Sixty-eight symptomatic patients with isolated diastolic dysfunction and preserved left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) (> or =50%) and 50 patients with regular left ventricular (LV) function were examined by conventional echocardiography, tissue Doppler imaging (TDI), and left and right heart catheterization. Plasma NT-proBNP levels were determined simultaneously. Median NT-proBNP plasma levels were elevated [189.54 pg/mL (86.16-308.27) vs. 51.89 pg/mL (29.94-69.71); P<0.001] and increased with greater severity of the diastolic dysfunction (R=0.67, P<0.001). According to the recevier operating characteristic analysis, LV end-diastolic pressure [area under the curve (AUC) 0.84] was the most specific parameter, which had a low sensitivity (61%), however. The reliability of NT-proBNP was similar to TDI indices (AUC 0.83 vs. 0.81) and improved when compared with conventional echocardiography (AUC 0.59-0.70). NT-proBNP levels had the best negative predictive value of all methods (94%) and correlated strongly with indices of LV filling pressure, as determined by invasive measurements. Multivariable linear regression analysis confirmed NT-proBNP as an independent predictor of diastolic dysfunction with an Odds ratio of 1.2 (1.1-1.4, CI 95%) for every unit increase of NT-proBNP. CONCLUSION: NT-proBNP can reliably detect the presence of isolated diastolic dysfunction in symptomatic patients and is an useful tool to rule out patients with reduced exercise tolerance of non-cardiac origin.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
