Abstract:

Objective To explore the correlations between serum free fatty acid(FFA) and cardiac function in patients with acute heart failure(AHF). Methods One hundred and sity three patients with AHF were divided into the LVEF<40% group and LVEF≥50% group basics on left ventricular ejection fraction(LVEF). FFA, N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP), cardiac troponin I(cTnI)and other related indicators were detected when admission. Indicators including the left ventricular ejection fraction(LVEF), LVEF fraction shortening(FS), left ventricular end-diastolic diameter(LVEDD), eft ventricular end-systolic dimension(LVESD) and TEi index were recorded. Results FFA, NT-proBNP and cTnI in LVEF<40% group was significantly higher than such indexes in LVEF≥50% group (P<0.05). FFA, NT-proBNP and cTnI were risk factors for LVEF<40% in AHF patients. The predicted AUC of FFA and NT-proBNP for patients with LVEF<40% were 0.856 and 0.810 respectively. In AHF patients, the cardiac function of high FFA group was significantly lower than that of low FFA group (P<0.05). Conclusion FFA, NT-proBNP and cTnI are the risk factors of LVEF < 40% in patients with AHF. FFA has certain predictive value for predicting the deterioration of patients' heart function among of these.
