Abstract:Acute ischemic stroke (AIS) results in high mortality, especially among patients admitted to the intensive care unit. Previous research has shown the relationship of N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) with stroke. However, unlike in heart disease, few research has related NT-proBNP with severity and prognosis of patients with AIS in the intensive care unit. This study aimed to investigate the relation between NT-proBNP, which is widely used in heart disease, and the short-term mortality of p… Show more
