This study demonstrated the relationship between NT-proBNP and CAP in Chinese patients with CHD in different glucose metabolic states. This association was evaluated according to sex, age, and glucose metabolism. The NT-proBNP level was also found to have diagnostic significance for CAP.Myocardial NT-proBNP synthesis and release are part of a counter-regulatory response to increased myocardial wall stress, sympathetic nerve tension, and vasoconstriction, acting in different systems and affecting various biological processes [NT-proBNP level is a good predictor of CHD outcomes in certain patient groups. Cosson et al. [The concentration of NT-proBNP was reported to gradually increase with age, and is significantly higher in women than in men [The nature and quantity of plaques determine the process of rupture or erosion, which can cause adverse cardiovascular events in a short period of time [
