During peak exercise effort, LVTMP increased the most in the study participants with HFpEF and normal NT-proBNP levels vs the control group (P = .188) and those with high NT-proBNP levels (P ...

An assay measuring N-terminal pro-BNP, or NT-proBNP, is more sensitive to detect heart failure and used in many institutions. The levels of BNP and NT-proBNP are essentially the same in normal ...

Patients with NT-proBNP levels above 500 pg/ml were four times more likely to have ventricular dysfunction than those with lower levels, but a result of this range had a positive predictive value ...
