Combined approach with Doppler echocardiography and B-type natriuretic peptide to stratify prognosis of patients with decompensated systolic heart failure

Summary Background Based on the importance of left ventricular (LV) diastolic function in stratification of the cardiac prognosis in patients with systolic heart failure (SHF), we attempted to identify the prognostic impact of Doppler echocardiographic examinations and plasma B-type natriuretic pept...
