BACKGROUND Brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) and left ventricular (LV) inotropic reserve are major prognostic indexes in heart failure (HF). OBJECTIVE To investigate the relationship between N-terminal-proBNP (NT-proBNP) changes in response to dobutamine stress echocardiography (DSE) and the LV inotropic reserve, in HF patients with dilated cardiomyopathy (DC). METHODS We studied 41 patients with DC, LVEF 31.6+/-7.7%, NYHA class II-III and 15 controls. Plasma NT-proBNP levels were measured before and 60 min after three 5-min stages of dobutamine (5 to 15 microg/kg/min). RESULTS Based on NT-proBNP changes in response to dobutamine, patients were categorized into two groups: In Group A circulating NT-proBNP levels fell (-16.6+/-7.8%), and in Group B they increased (8.4+/-9.1%). Group A had a marked improvement in WMSI compared to Group B (32.1+/-9.7% vs. 18.8+/-15.9%, p<0.001). Multivariate analysis showed that NT-proBNP changes were an independent predictor of LV inotropic reserve (b= -0.55, p<0.001). A reduction of 21.3% in plasma NT-proBNP levels in response to dobutamine predicted an improvement in WMSI of >25% with a sensitivity of 100% and a specificity of 92.3%. CONCLUSIONS NT-proBNP changes in response to dobutamine reflect improvement in LV contractility and constitute an independent predictor of LV inotropic reserve in patients with DC.

D006333 Heart Failure A heterogeneous condition in which the heart is unable to pump out sufficient blood to meet the metabolic need of the body. Heart failure can be caused by structural defects, functional abnormalities (VENTRICULAR DYSFUNCTION), or a sudden overload beyond its capacity. Chronic heart failure is more common than acute heart failure which results from sudden insult to cardiac function, such as MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION.
