Ruling out cardiac failure: cost-benefit analysis of a sequential testing strategy with NT-proBNP before echocardiography.

abstract：:Glucagon from the pancreatic α-cells is a major blood glucose-regulating hormone whose most important role is to prevent hypoglycaemia that can be life-threatening due to the brain's strong dependence on glucose as energy source. Lack of blood glucose-lowering insulin after malfunction or autoimmune destruction of the...
