Key result
NT-proBNP was a useful predictor for 12-month MACEs among patients with NSTEMI, producing significant results for repeat percutaneous coronary intervention (P=0.031).
Why the study?
Does NT-proBNP predict 12-month MACEs in patients with NSTEMI?

Does NT-proBNP predict 12-month MACEs in patients with NSTEMI?
p-value: p=0.031
NT-proBNP, potentially combined with max-CK and CAD vessel extent, serves as a useful prognostic indicator for 12-month MACEs in patients with NSTEMI.
Supports using baseline biomarkers for early risk stratification in NSTEMI; leaves open whether.
= 0.031) produced significant results in repeat percutaneous coronary intervention. The area under the ROC curve was found to be statistically significant for cardiac death and CABG. NT-proBNP is a useful predictor for 12-month MACEs among patients with NSTEMI and in those with heart failure. We propose that a new index incorporating NT-proBNP, max-CK, and CAD vessel will be useful as a prognostic indicator of MACEs in the future.

Shon et al. (2017) conducted an observational in Non-ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction (NSTEMI). NT-proBNP was evaluated on 12-month Major Adverse Cardiac Events (MACEs) (p=0.031). NT-proBNP was a useful predictor for 12-month MACEs among patients with NSTEMI, producing significant results for repeat percutaneous coronary intervention (P=0.031).
