Admission BNP and In-Hospital Mortality in ADHF Levels of BNP and NT-proBNP have been shown to be elevated in patients with left ventricular (LV) dysfunction and correlate with the New York Heart Association functional classLevels of BNP and NT-proBNP have been shown to be elevated in patients with left ventricular (LV) dysfunction and correlate with the New York Heart Association functional class Clinical investigations of natriuretic peptides have focused on the diagnostic usefulness for heart failure (HF) and LV dysfunction and their prognostic usefulness in chronic HF, acute coronary syndromes, stable coronary artery disease, other medical conditions, and community cohortsClinical investigations of natriuretic peptides have focused on the diagnostic usefulness for heart failure (HF) and LV dysfunction and their prognostic usefulness in chronic HF, acute coronary syndromes, stable coronary artery disease, other medical conditions, and community cohorts Whether plasma levels of BNP are predictive of in-hospital mortality risk in patients hospitalized with acute decompensated HF has not been well studiedWhether plasma levels of BNP are predictive of in-hospital mortality risk in patients hospitalized with acute decompensated HF has not been well studied Fonarow GC et al.
