| Popis: | Background: Heart failure is a major health problem in the world. It is associated with high morbidity and high mortality especially in elderly patients. Most studies reported using N terminal pro-B type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) in diagnosis of heart failure, but about of these tests in determining classification of severity of heart failure in the elderly remain unclear. Objective: To determine the differences NT-pro BNP levels based on the severity of diease of heart failure in elderly patients. Methods: This is an observational study with cross sectional design. Subjects were patients with diagnosed heart failure and aged = 60 years. Patients were divided into two groups, mild and severe heart failure groups according to severity of heart failure in New York Heart Association (NYHA) class. The NT Pro-BNP levels were measured for all subjects in both groups. Data was analyzed with using unpaired t test and was considered significant if p |
