Key result
Preoperative and postoperative measurement of brain natriuretic peptide could help predict postoperative cardiac dysfunction and adverse outcomes in patients undergoing cardiac surgery.

May refine perioperative risk stratification in cardiac surgery; extends evidence by synthesizing BNP's predictive value for adverse outcomes.
Is brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) a marker for adverse postoperative outcomes in patients undergoing cardiac surgery?
BNP measurement before and after cardiac surgery may serve as a useful marker to predict postoperative cardiac dysfunction and adverse outcomes, potentially improving risk assessment tools.
Mitchell et al. (2010) conducted a review in Cardiac surgery. Brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) levels was evaluated on Postoperative cardiac dysfunction and adverse outcome. Preoperative and postoperative measurement of brain natriuretic peptide could help predict postoperative cardiac dysfunction and adverse outcomes in patients undergoing cardiac surgery.
