Why the study?
Does measurement of plasma natriuretic peptide levels reflect symptom onset in patients with aortic stenosis?
Does measurement of plasma natriuretic peptide levels reflect symptom onset in patients with aortic stenosis?
Measurement of natriuretic peptides may complement clinical and echocardiographic evaluation of patients with aortic stenosis by reflecting symptom onset.
May complement symptom assessment in aortic stenosis; leaves open prospective validation before diagnostic integration.
Plasma natriuretic peptide levels are elevated in symptomatic patients with aortic stenosis. Measurement of natriuretic peptides may complement clinical and echocardiographic evaluation of patients with aortic stenosis.
