Comparison between the Levels of N Terminal Pro-Brain Natriuretic Peptide and Troponin I to Predict Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction in Patients Presenting with First ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction
Abstract:Objectives: To compare the levels of N Terminal- ProBrain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) and Troponin I (Trop I) to predict left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) in patients presenting with first ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI).
Methodology: A cross-sectional study was carried out in Cardiology department of a tertiary care hospital from June to November 2021. A total of 150 patients who presented at emergency department with first STEMI and underwent primary percutaneous coronary intervention … Show more
