Utility of N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide in detecting diastolic dysfunction in asymptomatic hypertensive patients: comparison with echocardiography
Introduction: Data suggest that brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) and NT pro-BNP partially reflect ventricular pressure and could have a role in the early detection of diastolic abnormalities in hypertensive patients with normal systolic function. This study aimed to assess the role of NT pro-BNP for...
