Core Tip
Core Tip: In this study, we estimated and compared the plasma brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) and platelet count parameters among different groups and subgroups. We found that plasma BNP and platelet parameters in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and pulmonary heart disease clearly differed from those of the subjects in the COPD and healthy control groups. Moreover, with the increase in pulmonary arterial pressure and grading of heart function classification in the pulmonary heart disease group, plasma BNP and platelet-associated indices showed an apparent trend. Therefore, our study showed that plasma BNP and platelet parameters are correlated with the classification of pulmonary arterial pressure and cardiac function in patients with combined COPD and pulmonary heart disease, which indicate that these parameters have high relevance in reflecting the patients’ health condition and in guiding their clinical treatment.
