Key result
Post-PCI 24th hour BNP level was an independent predictor of major adverse cardiac events during 12 months of follow-up after elective successful PCI (P=0.002).

Post-PCI BNP may aid MACE risk stratification after elective PCI; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change practice.
Cohort (n=95)
Do peri-procedural B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) levels predict major adverse cardiac events in stable coronary artery disease patients undergoing elective percutaneous coronary intervention?
p-value: p=0.002
Elevated BNP levels 24 hours after elective PCI independently predict the occurrence of major adverse cardiac events at 1 year.
Yı́ldı́rı́r et al. (2008) conducted a cohort in Stable coronary artery disease (CAD) (n=95). Post-PCI 24th hour B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) level was evaluated on Major adverse cardiac events (MACE) including cardiac death, myocardial infarction, hospitalization with angina or repeat revascularization (p=0.002). Post-PCI 24th hour BNP level was an independent predictor of major adverse cardiac events during 12 months of follow-up after elective successful PCI (P=0.002).
