BIOMARKER AND ECHOCARDIOGRAPHIC CHARACTERISTICS OF HEART FAILURE IN PATIENTS HAVING ACUTE MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION COMBINED WITH DIABETES MELLITUS OF TYPE 2.

Objective: The aim: To investigate the level of B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) and to establish its relationship with structural and functional indicators of the myocardium in patients having acute myocardial infarction (AMI), which is complicated by heart failure (HF) with concomitant type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2).

Patients And Methods: Materials and methods: The study included 120 patients who were grouped by clinical diagnosis. Every patient underwent transthoracic echocardiography of the heart: left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction (EF), left ventricular myocardial mass index (LVMI), LV relative wall thickness (LVWT), BNP, HbA1c.
