N-Terminal proBNP and Mortality in Hospitalised Patients with Heart Failure and Preserved Vs. Reduced Systolic Function: Data from the Prospective Copenhagen Hospital Heart Failure Study (CHHF)

Abstract

The results show that independent of LVEF, measurements of NT-proBNP add additional prognostic information. It is concluded that NT-proBNP is a strong predictor of 1-year mortality in consecutively hospitalised patients with heart failure with preserved as well as reduced systolic function.
