N-Terminal ProBNP Levels Can Predict Cardiac Failure After Cardiac Surgery

Background The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between the preoperative N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) level and the need for the inotropic support in the early postoperative period of patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft surgery. Methods and Res...

Description
Summary:Background The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between the preoperative N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) level and the need for the inotropic support in the early postoperative period of patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft surgery. Methods and Results The patients were divided into 2 groups: NT-proBNP level 220 pg/ml (group B, n=26). The normal value for NT-proBNP level was accepted as
