NT-proBNP concentration measured both on admission and 4 to 5 days after acute MI independently correlates with echocardiographic parameters of LV systolic function (EF and WMSI). One hour delay in PCI raises the risk of NT-proBNP level elevation on admission by 30%.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
