Changes and prognostic evaluation of thyroid hormone，troponin I and B-type natriuretic peptide levels in patients with acute coronary syndrome

Abstract

Abstract: Objective　To observe the changes of serum levels of thyroid hormone（TH），cardiac troponin I（cTnI） and B-type natriuretic peptide（BNP） levels in patients with acute coronary syndrome（ACS） during the hospitalization period，and to study the relationship with major adverse cardiovascular events（MACE）. Methods　A total of 120 ACS patients were enrolled randomly and classified into 3 groups including ST-segment elevation acute myocardial infarction（STEMI），non-ST-segment elevation acute myocardial infarction（NSTEMI） and unstable angina（UA） according to the styles of ACS. According to the patients whether occurred MACE or notduring the hospitalization period，2 groups including MACE（＋） and MACE（－） were classified. TH，cTnI and BNP levels were observed respectively. Results　The levels of total triiodothyronine（TT3） in NSTEMI group and STEMI group were significantly lower than thatof UA group（P＜0.05，P＜0.01）. The free triiodothyronine（FT3） level in NSTEMI group was significantly lower than those in STEMI and UA groups（P＜0.05）. The levels of TT3 andfT3 in MACE（＋）group were significantly lower than those in MACE（－）group（P＜0.01）. The levels of cTnI in STEMI and NSTEMI groups were higher than thatin UA group（P＜0.01）.The levels of cTnI in NSTEMI group were higher than those in STEMI group（P＜0.05），but no statistical significance was found between MACE（＋） and MACE（－） groups（P＞0.05）. Thyroid stimulating hormone（TSH），total tetraiodothyronine（TT4） and free tetraiodothyronine（FT4） and BNP levels had no statistical significance both in STEMI，NSTEMI and UA groups and in MACE（＋） and MACE（－） groups（P＞0.05）. The positive rates of cTnI and BNP had no statistical significance between MACE（＋） and MACE（－） groups（P＞0.05）. Conclusions　MACE occurs commonly in the ACS patients with low TT3 andfT3 levels during the hospitalization period. The levels of cTnI and BNP have no significance in the MACE for the ACS patients during the hospitalization period and still are needed further research and study.
