Dynamic changes of cardiac biomarkers levels during
hospitalization
All patients were divided into three groups (non-critical group,
critical-survivor group and critical-nonsurvivor group to record and
compare dynamic changes of cardiac biomarkers. BNP increased rapidly
after the 14th day in critical-nonsurvivor group but decreased
respectively from the 3th day and 7th day in the non-critical and
critical-survivor groups. Levels of hs-cTnI was clearly elevated from
the 14th day and rapidly decreased from the 21th day in
critical-survivor group and critical-nonsurvivor group, but for
non-critical group, it gradually decreased after the peak on the 3th
day. Differences among three groups were significant for LDH, CK-MB,
HBDH throughout the clinical course. LDH and HBDH increased for all
patients in the early stage of illness, then decreased for non-critical
and critical survivors but rapidly increased for nonsurvivors in the
late stage of illness.
