Background & Aims: COVID-19 infection is associated with multiple cardiovascular complications that can impact mortality in patients admitted to intensive care units. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between NT-pro BNP levels and in-hospital outcomes (discharge or death) and changes in left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) in COVID-19 patients admitted to intensive care units.
Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on 56 patients with PCR-confirmed COVID-19 and radiological evidence. Patients with a history of previous cardiovascular disease were excluded from the study. NT-pro BNP levels were measured within the first 24 hours of admission, and their association with LVEF and hospital outcomes was analyzed.Results: The mean NT-Pro BNP protein level in discharged COVID-19 patients was 1997.04 ± 456.72 Pg/mL, and in deceased patients was 4417.17 ± 1657.67 Pg/mL (P = 0.04).Discussion and
Conclusion: The results of this study showed that elevated NT-pro BNP levels can be used as a predictive marker to identify patients at risk of death in intensive care units. Further studies are recommended to determine the clinical certainty of this indicator.
