Using an implantable loop recorder (ILR) to screen older individuals for atrial fibrillation (AF) may be more beneficial when NT-proBNP levels are high, according to a post hoc analysis of the LOOP ...

Measuring N-terminal pro–B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) levels preoperatively among patients scheduled to undergo inpatient noncardiac surgery can strongly predict the risk of major cardiac ...

A normal NT-proBNP level was below 125 ng/L and a high level, 125 ng/L and above. The authors highlighted their results are novel because they are the first to show a greater risk of adverse cardiac ...

"HF algorithms are starting to recognize and include NT-proBNP in identifying stage B HF…Studies such as ours could provide insight and guidance as to when repeat measures may be useful. Future work ...
