Key result
Higher preoperative brain natriuretic peptide levels independently predicted short-term mortality (OR 13.58) and cardiogenic shock in patients with coronary artery disease and ischemic heart failure undergoing CABG.
Why the study?
Do preoperative and postoperative brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) levels predict postoperative complications and outcome in patients with coronary artery disease and ischemic heart failure undergoing CABG?
Cohort (n=58)
Do preoperative and postoperative brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) levels predict postoperative complications and outcome in patients with coronary artery disease and ischemic heart failure undergoing CABG?
Odds Ratio: 13.58 (95% CI 1.29–142.76)
p-value: p=0.030

May support preoperative risk stratification before CABG in ischemic HF; extends observational data but leaves open impact on management.
Τζιόμαλος et al. (2009) conducted a cohort in Coronary artery disease and ischemic heart failure (n=58). Preoperative brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) levels was evaluated on Short-term mortality (OR 13.58, 95% CI 1.29-142.76, p=0.030). Higher preoperative brain natriuretic peptide levels independently predicted short-term mortality (OR 13.58) and cardiogenic shock in patients with coronary artery disease and ischemic heart failure undergoing CABG.
