Clinical profile and management of heart failure: rural community hospital vs. metropolitan heart center.

abstract：AIMS:Plasma N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) is a strong biochemical marker of heart failure and left ventricular dysfunction (LVD). Due to renal arterio-venous clearance of NT-proBNP and the correlation of plasma concentrations with renal function, we hypothesized that NT-proBNP may have potential ...
