DO CHANGES OF BRAIN NATRIURETIC AND N-TERMINAL PRO-B-TYPE NATRIURETIC PEPTIDES PREDICT CARDIOVASCULAR EVENTS IN HEART FAILURE PATIENTS? A META-ANALYSIS OF 27 TRIALS IN 15,820 PATIENTS

DO CHANGES OF BRAIN NATRIURETIC AND N-TERMINAL PRO-B-TYPE NATRIURETIC PEPTIDES PREDICT CARDIOVASCULAR EVENTS IN HEART FAILURE PATIENTS? A META-ANALYSIS OF 27 TRIALS IN 15,820 PATIENTS

Background The relationship between brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) and N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) plasma levels and risk of cardiovascular events in patients with heart failure (HF) has been demonstrated in previous studies.
