Relation between serum B-type brain natriuretic peptide level and complexity & severity of coronary artery disease in non-ST elevation myocardial infarction

Relation between serum B-type brain natriuretic peptide level and complexity & severity of coronary artery disease in non-ST elevation myocardial infarction

Background: Neurohumoral activation of the heart can be monitored by measurements of systemic levels of natriuretic peptides, such as BNP. Patients with non ST-elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) with elevated BNP levels had an increased mortality rate when compared with those with lower levels...
