Background and Objective: Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in diabetic patients. The objective of this study was to determine the frequency of diabetic patients with a serum BNP level greater than 100 pg / ml and to establish the relationship between BNP and other variables. Methods: This is a cross-sectional study carried out in 50 diabetic patients admitted to the metabolic diseases department of the University Hospital of Brazzaville between May and October 2018. Results: A single type 2 diabetic patient presented a BNP = 187.4 pg / ml, a frequency of 2%. BNP level was associated with age (p = 0.005) and creatinine (p = 0.003). The small number of samples and an untargeted population did not allow us to profile BNP in diabetic patients. Conclusion: the mean BNP is high in diabetics in Congo Brazzaville despite a small sample size which does not allow the results to be generalized.
