Type of funding sources: None.
We aimed to assess the prognostic value of plasma neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL), a marker of renal tubular damage, in patients with heart failure with or without atrial fibrillation (AF).
Methods
The study involved 113 (83.2% men) patients with mean age 60.0 [54.0-67.0] years with II-IV functional class (recommendations of the New Yo… Show more
