Association of N-terminal-Pro-B-type Natriuretic Peptide Levels and 2 years Clinical Outcomes in Patients Undergoing Percutaneous Coronary Intervention with Drug-eluting Stents in Asian Populations

Background Elevated plasma level of N-Terminal-Pro-B-type Natriuretic Peptide (NT-pro BNP) is known to be associated with significant coronary artery disease.The aim of this study is to evaluate the association between NT-proBNP and long-term clinical outcomes in patients (pts) undergoing percutaneo...
