B-type natriuretic peptide concentrations in contemporary Eisenmenger syndrome patients: predictive value and response to disease targeting therapy

Abstract

BNP concentrations predict outcome in contemporary Eisenmenger patients. Increases in BNP concentrations over time are also of prognostic significance. In addition, disease targeting therapies may help to reduce BNP concentrations in this population, while treatment-naïve patients have static or rising BNP concentrations.
