B-type natriuretic peptide and ischemia in patients with stable coronary disease: data from the Heart and Soul study.

abstract：BACKGROUND:We previously demonstrated that reduced vagal activity and/or increased sympathetic activity identify post-myocardial infarction patients at high risk for cardiac mortality. Simple and inexpensive autonomic markers are necessary to perform autonomic screening in large populations. We tested our hypothesis th...
