The value of B-type natriuretic peptide and big endothelin-1 for detection of severe pulmonary hypertension in heart transplant candidates

Background: Severe pulmonary hypertension (PH) and increased pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) are important risk factors that predict early postoperative mortality after orthotopic heart transplantation. The aim of our study was to determine the value of B‐type natriuretic peptide (BNP) and big e...
