FUNDAMENTO: O valor prognóstico do PNB na Síndrome Coronariana Aguda (SCA) tem sido repetidamente avaliado, mas ainda não completamente bem estabelecido. Os dados da literatura para estabelecer o melhor momento para avaliar o PNB, seja na admissão hospitalar, seja após a intervenção coronariana, são controversos. OBJETIVO: Analisar o PNB em SCA sem supradesnivelamento do segmento ST (Scasest), no longo prazo, e avaliar a associação entre PNB (pg/mL), morte, anatomia coronariana, e Escore de Risco TIMI. MÉTODOS: Quarenta pacientes com Scasest e troponina > 0,50 ng/mL tiveram seus níveis de PNB medidos na admissão e 96 horas depois, e foram acompanhados por quatro anos. A diferença entre as duas medidas foi avaliada utilizando o teste de Wilcoxon (p 300 pg/mL (95% CI 1,90 a 29,30 p BACKGROUND: The prognostic value of BNP in acute coronary syndrome (ACS) has been repeatedly assessed, but not completely well established. Literature data for establishing the best time for assessing BNP, be it on hospital admission or after coronary intervention, are controversial. OBJECTIVE: To analyze BNP in non-ST segment elevation ACS (NSTE-ACS) in the long term, and to assess the association between BNP (pg/ml), death, coronary anatomy, and TIMI Risk Score. METHODS: Forty patients with NSTE-ACS and troponin>0.50 ng/ml had their BNP levels measured on admission and 96 hours after, and were followed up for four years. The difference between the two measures was assessed by use of Wilcoxon test (p 300 pg/ml (95% CI 1.90 a 29.30 p<0.01). An association between 96-hour BNP and TIMI Risk Score was observed (p<0.01). An association was observed between the increase in 96-hour BNP and multivessel disease (p=0.02). CONCLUSION: In NSTE-ACS with positive troponin, 96-hour BNP can be a tool for risk stratification.
