Why the study?
Do plasma N-BNP and ADM levels predict cardiac function and prognosis in patients with myocardial infarction?
Do plasma N-BNP and ADM levels predict cardiac function and prognosis in patients with myocardial infarction?
Plasma N-BNP measured 2 to 4 days after myocardial infarction independently predicts left ventricular function and 2-year survival, offering superior prognostic value compared to other neurohormones.
