Özet
Background/aim: In the present study, we aimed to investigate the relationship between NT-proBNP and SYNTAX score, which is a measure of the complexity of coronary artery disease. Materials and methods: We enrolled 405 consecutive patients with myocardial infarction who underwent coronary angiographic examination. Patients were divided into 3 groups according to their SYNTAX scores. Those with SYNTAX score <= 22 were included in the low SYNTAX score group (LSTX), those with a score of 23-32 were included in the intermediate SYNTAX score group (ISTX), and those with a score of >= 33 were included in the high SYNTAX score group (HSTX). Results: NT-proBNP levels were found to be significantly higher in the HSTX group compared to the other groups (P < 0.001) and in the ISTX group compared to the LSTX group (P < 0.001). The NT-proBNP levels demonstrated an increase from low SYNTAX score to high SYNTAX score tertiles. Conclusions: NT-ProBNP levels in patients with myocardial infarction on admission were independently associated with extent, severity, and complexity of coronary atherosclerosis as assessed by SYNTAX score.
