Brain Natriuretic Peptide as a Risk Marker for Incident Hypertensive Cardiovascular Events

We examined the effects of aging and hypertensive left ventricular hypertrophy on the plasma level of brain natriuretic peptide (BNP), and assessed BNP as a risk marker for incident hypertensive cardiovascular events. One hundred and eighty-five hypertensive patients were echocardiographically divid...
