Prognostic value of N-terminal B-type natriuretic peptide in patients with chronic heart failure / 中华检验医学杂志

ABSTRACT

74 years were associated with increased cardiac events too(HR = 5.40,95%CI2.16~11.52,P=0.0002).NYHA classification, LVEF, cTnT?cTnI and CK-MB were not independently predictive of cardiac events.Conclusions Measurement of NT-proBNP in patients with CHF can help to identify patients at higher risk for cardiac events .
