Do NT-proBNP levels confer the same relative risk information in HFpEF as in HFrEF?
NT-proBNP provides similar relative risk information in both HFpEF and HFrEF, though comorbidities play a larger prognostic role in HFpEF patients with lower NT-proBNP levels.
Our study highlights-after demonstrating that NT-proBNP levels confer the same relative risk information in HFpEF as in HFrEF-the possibility that comorbidities contribute relatively more to prognosis in patients with HFpEF with lower NT-proBNP levels than in patients with HFrEF.
