Does plasma NT-proBNP level have prognostic value for UFCO in patients after ischemic stroke?
Elevated NT-proBNP levels after acute ischemic stroke are strongly and independently correlated with unfavorable outcomes.
The NT-proBNP level was markedly elevated after acute ischemic stroke and declined substantially thereafter. An increased NT-proBNP level was strongly and independently correlated with UFCO in patients after ischemic stroke.
Yip et al. (Sun,) studied this question.
