N‐Terminal Pro–Brain Natriuretic Peptide (NT‐proBNP) Levels are Increased in Patients With Transient Ischemic Attack Accompanied by Nonfocal Symptoms

N‐Terminal Pro–Brain Natriuretic Peptide (NT‐proBNP) Levels are Increased in Patients With Transient Ischemic Attack Accompanied by Nonfocal Symptoms

Background Transient nonfocal neurological symptoms may serve as markers of cardiac dysfunction. We assessed whether serum N‐terminal pro–brain natriuretic peptide (NT‐proBNP) levels, a biomarker of cardiac disease, are increased in patients with transient ischemic attack (TIA) accompanied by nonfoc...
