NT-proBNP and its correlation to left ventricular ejection fraction and heart failure - the DEMONSTRATE database

CONCLUSIONS: NT-proBNP levels increase when LVEF deteriorates but with large inter-individual differences. Further research is needed, but these findings show potential in optimising the use of LVEF with the aid of sequential analysis of NT-proBNP as a complementary diagnostic and prognostic tool to enhance assessment of cardiac function.
