High ANP at AMI admission identifies high-risk patients; supports prognostic evaluation but remains hypothesis-generating pending validation.
Does a high plasma concentration of atrial natriuretic peptide at admission predict mortality in patients with acute myocardial infarction?
Elevated plasma atrial natriuretic peptide at admission identifies patients at high risk of mortality following acute myocardial infarction.
