and blood analysis of N-terminal-pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) within 24 hours of admission. Exclusions resulted from lack of informed consent or failure to obtain the required evaluations ...

Fractional polynomials were considered when comparing models of best fit for continuous variables of age, BMI and blood pressure. The proportional hazards assumption was tested using Schoenfeld ...

Background N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) is a valuable biomarker for diagnosis and prognosis of heart failure in adults, included into the European Society Guidelines for heart ...

The inactive N-terminal fragment of pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) has been linked to ventricular dysfunction in the general population, and is predictive of cardiac events. Corteville ...

and cardiopulmonary exercise testing. Results Median NT-proBNP concentration was 1104.5 pg/mL (range: 20–11206 pg/mL and IQR: 108.5–2613.5 pg/mL). NT-proBNP levels correlated with: QTc (ρ= 0.445, ...

Interventional study (clinical trial) — studies new tests, treatments, drugs ... The purpose of this study is to characterize the relationship between NT-proBNP levels obtained at time of admission ...

Leucocyte subpopulations were determined immediately after blood sampling by flow cytometry. Serum samples for posterior analysis of C-reactive protein (CRP), IL-6, cortisol and NT-proBNP were stored ...
