N-terminal-pro-brain natriuretic peptide, a surrogate biomarker of combined clinical and hemodynamic outcomes following percutaneous transvenous mitral commissurotomy

ABSTRACT

Aim: To examine the relationship between plasma levels of N-terminal-proB type natriuretic peptide [NT-proBNP] and various echocardiographic and hemodynamic parameters in patients with mitral stenosis undergoing percutaneous transvenous mitral commissurotomy [PTMC]
