This study provides evidence that an increase in NT-proBNP is a strong predictor of outcome in patients with LVNC. The prognostic power of NT-proBNP is at least as good as that of LVEF, indicating that routine NT-proBNP measurement may improve risk assessment in LVNC.
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.
