简要总结

The aim of the present study was to evaluate if the analysis of NT-proBNP might be used as an initial step for the diagnosis of chronic heart failure in patients with COPD in primary health care, and to select patients for a further examination by echocardiography.

详细描述

Patients with a confirmed diagnosis of COPD were examined regarding chronic heart failure.

  1. An interview regarding symptoms: breathlessness, orthopnoea, night cough, nocturia, walking distance.
  2. Physical examination: weight and height, heart and lung auscultation, blood pressure measurement after 5 minutes' rest in the sitting position and the presence of peripheral oedema.
  3. Electrocardiography.
  4. Natriuretic peptide- NT-proBNP (Immulite 2500, Siemens Healthcare Diagnostics AB Sweden).
  5. Patients with the NT-proBNP level of > 1200 pg/ml were referred for echocardiography to assess left ventricular function.
