Association of Long-term Change in N-Terminal Pro–B-Type Natriuretic Peptide With Incident Heart Failure and Death

Abstract

In this study, 6-year change in NT-proBNP reflected dynamic change in risk for HF events and death among community-dwelling adults without prevalent clinical HF. These results support the utility of serial NT-proBNP measurements to improve risk stratification of patients with pre-HF.
