Relationship between changes of electrocardiogram (ECG) indexes in chronic heart failure (CHF) with arrhythmia and serum type III procollagen amino-terminal peptide (PIIINP) and brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) were evaluated. From December 2017 to December 2018, 101 patients with heart failure (HF) were collected. Among them, 48 patients with HF and slow arrhythmia were in group A, and 53 cases of HF with non-slow arrhythmia were sin group B, including 33 males and 20 females. BNP was detected by chemiluminescence and PIIINP was detected by immunoassay. The changes of ECG indexes in the two groups, the correlation between serum PIIINP and BNP and NYHA classification of cardiac function, and the correlation between ECG indexes and PIIINP and BNP were detected. ROC curve analysis of BNP and PIIINP in the diagnosis of slow HF was carried out. Serum PIIINP and BNP in group A were significantly higher than those in group B (P<0.05). The levels of PIIINP and BNP in serum of NYHA patients with different cardiac functions, and those in serum of patients with class III were significantly higher than those of group II (P<0.05), while significantly lower than those of group IV (P<0.05). The heart rate and Q-T interval in group A were significantly higher than those in group B (P<0.05). The P-R interval and QES wave group in group A were significantly lower than those in group B (P<0.05). BNP had a positive correlation with Hr and G-T, and was negatively correlated with P-R and QRS; PIIINP was positively correlated with Hr and G-T, and had a negative correlation with P-R, QRS and BNP; PIIINP had positive correlation with NYHA; ECG indexes were correlated with BNP and PIIINP, and had diagnostic value for CHF. Using ECG indexes to predict BNP and PIIINP levels was conducive to the diagnosis of CHF.
