Abstract: OBJECTIVE: This study was designed to investigate the levels and clinical significance of secretory frizzled-related protein 5 (sFRP5), retinol binding protein 4 (RBP-4) and N-terminal (NT)-pro hormone BNP (NT-proBNP) in patients with chronic heart failure (CHF). METHODS: Eighty-nine patients with CHF treated in our hospital were included as the observation group. Seventy-five healthy volunteers who underwent physical examination in our hospital during the same period were selected as the control group. The subjects in the observation group were divided into NYHA class II (n=23), NYHA class III (n=34) and NYHA class IV (n=32) according to NYHA classification, and the levels of sFRP5, RBP-4 and NT-proBNP as well as left ventricular end-diastolic diameter (LVEDD) and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) were compared in the three groups. Spearman correlation was used to analyze the relationship between sFRP5, RBP-4, NT-proBNP and LVEDD, LVEF. The ROC curves of sFRP5, RBP-4 and NT-proBNP for the diagnosis of CHF were plotted. Patients in the observation group were divided into a death group (n=30) and a survival group (n=59) according to the 1-year follow-up outcome, and the levels of sFRP5, RBP-4, and NT-proBNP were compared between the two groups. RESULTS: < 0.05). CONCLUSION: sFRP5, RBP-4, and NT-proBNP showed a close correlation with CHF. It is worthy of using this method as a clinical index for the diagnosis and prognosis of CHF.
