The role of NT-proBNP as a predicting factor for mortality in patient admitted with acute heart failure

Currently cardiac biomarkers such as B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) and N-terminal peptide (NT-proBNP) were widely used to diagnose HF in dyspnoea patients. NT-proBNP is not only also useful for the diagnosis of uncertain dyspnoea patients, but it also plays a crucial role to determine the short-term prognosis of heart failure patients This present study is to assess the role of NT-proBNP as a predicting factor for mortality inpatient admitted with Acute Heart Failure.
