GW24-e2209 Relationship between plasma N-terminal pro brain natriuretic peptide (NT-Pro BNP) level and SYNTAX score in patients with stable angina pectoris
Abstract:Objectives
Recently, the prognostic role of N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-pro BNP) in heart failure and coronary diseases has been demonstrated in many studies. SYNTAX score was pioneered as an anatomical-based risk score that aided in this decision-making process in appropriately informing patients electing to undergo coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery or percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). However is not known if there is a relation between NT-pro BNP levels and SYNTAX score (SS… Show more
