Effectiveness of coronary heart disease risk management in high-risk patients.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Little is known about the relationship of body fluid status with the levels and fluctuations of B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) over the long-term. HYPOTHESIS:If BNP is to become useful for monitoring of patients with chronic heart failure (HF), the levels should reliably reflect both decompensation and im...
