Prognostic value of brain natriuretic peptide in ST-elevation myocardial infarction patients: A Portuguese registry

Brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) is a highly sensitive and specific biomarker for the extent of myocardial infarction that is strongly related to short- and long-term prognosis in patients with acute coronary syndromes. To assess the prognostic value of BNP levels in a Portuguese cohort of ST-elevati...

Description
Summary:Brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) is a highly sensitive and specific biomarker for the extent of myocardial infarction that is strongly related to short- and long-term prognosis in patients with acute coronary syndromes. To assess the prognostic value of BNP levels in a Portuguese cohort of ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients. We performed a retrospective analysis of patients admitted with STEMI included in the Portuguese Registry of Acute Coronary Syndromes (ProACS) between 2010 and 2019. Patients were divided into three groups according to BNP level (
