Abstract 13827: Performance Characteristics of Natriuretic Peptides in Predicting Invasively Measured Intracardiac Filling Pressures in Patients With Cancer
Abstract:Introduction:
Natriuretic peptides (NP) are routinely used for the diagnosis of heart failure. Studies have suggested higher levels of NP in patients with cancer, possibly driven by cancer associated inflammation. This study aims to assess the performance characteristics of natriuretic peptides in predicting invasively measured elevated intracardiac filling pressures in patients with cancer.
Methods:
Patients with cancer who underwent a right heart cath… Show more
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.
