Study of serum resistin level and NT-proBNP level in patients with congestive heart failure

Objective To study the relation between the level of resistin and NT-proBNP in patients with congestive heart failure and the person with normal heart function.Methods The study subjects were divided into two groups: normalheart functiongroupandcongestiveheart failure(CHF) group,TheresistinwasdetectedbyELISAandNT-proBNPwasdetected by electrochemistry luminescence method.Results The level of NT-proBNP and resistin in patients with congestive heart failure were higher than that in normal heart function group(P0.05),and declined with cardic function improvement(P0.05).Conclusion The level of NT-proBNP and resistin has a relation with cardic function and it may be a good prediction in diagnosing CHF and evaluating cardiac function.
