OBJECTIVE To evaluate the prognostic significance of plasma N-terminal pro-atrial natriuretic factor (1-98) concentrations measured in the subacute phase after acute myocardial infarction, and to compare the predictive value of measurement of N-terminal pro-atrial natriuretic factor (1-98) with the measurement of atrial natriuretic factor (99-126) and with clinical assessment of the degree of heart failure. METHODS Prospective observational. METHODS Norwegian central hospital. METHODS 139 patients (mean (SD) age 66.9 (11.1) years, 71.2% males) with acute myocardial infarction. Patients in cardiogenic shock or with severe heart failure (New York Heart Association class IV) were excluded. METHODS Cardiovascular death within 12 months. RESULTS During the follow up period 15 patients died. In a univariate Cox proportional hazards model N-terminal pro-atrial natriuretic factor (1-98) was significantly related to mortality (p = 0.0003). In a multivariate model the prognostic value of N-terminal pro-atrial natriuretic factor (1-98) was better than that of atrial natriuretic factor (99-126) and clinical assessment of heart failure (N-terminal pro-atrial natriuretic factor (1-98), p = 0.0003; atrial natriuretic factor (99-126), p = 0.4513; heart failure, p = 0.0719). The odds ratio estimate of patients in whom plasma concentrations of N-terminal pro-atrial natriuretic factor (1-98) were greater than 2000 pmol/l was 25 (95% confidence interval 2.8-225.0) compared with patients with plasma concentrations less than 1000 pmol/l. CONCLUSIONS These results suggest that determination of plasma N-terminal pro-atrial natriuretic factor (1-98) in the subacute phase of myocardial infarction may provide clinically relevant prognostic information that is superior to that obtained from atrial natriuretic factor (99-126) measurements and clinical evaluation.

D011237 Predictive Value of Tests In screening and diagnostic tests, the probability that a person with a positive test is a true positive (i.e., has the disease), is referred to as the predictive value of a positive test; whereas, the predictive value of a negative test is the probability that the person with a negative test does not have the disease. Predictive value is related to the sensitivity and specificity of the test.
