Abstract

Background & Methods: The aim of the study is to study the Correlation of NT Pro BNP levels with age, gender, body mass index and troponin. Cases of Congestive Cardiac failure admitted to Intesive Care Unit (ICU)/ Intensive Cardiac Care Unit (ICCU),were subjected for history and clinical examination For use in the calibration of the VITROS. Results: There is no correlation of NT Pro BNP levels with age p value =0.271 (>0.05) of the patients in the study and control group. Out of thirty cases of control group, maximum thirteen (43.33%) were in the sixth and seventh decades out of which eight males and five females. Out of nine (30%) cases of fourth and fifth decades, there were four males and five females. In eighth and ninth decades, there were only eight (26.67%) cases out of which five males and three females. There is no correlation of NT Pro BNP levels with Gender – p value = 0.134 (>0.05) of the patients in the study and control group. There is significant correlation of NT Pro BNP levels with Troponin - p value = 0.032 (<0.05) of the patients in the study and control group.
