BNP differences by ASA status may support pre-op evaluation; this cohort study leaves open its role in CABG risk stratification.
How do plasma levels of calcitonin gene-related peptide, atrial natriuretic peptide, and brain natriuretic peptide change during cardiopulmonary bypass in patients undergoing CABG?
Pre-operative BNP levels correlate with ASA physical status in CABG patients, suggesting its potential utility in pre-operative cardiac evaluation.
