Correlation Between N-Terminal Pro-Brain Natriuretic Peptide Levels and Cardiopulmonary Exercise Testing in Patients With Pre-Capillary Pulmonary Hypertension: A Pilot Study
Background: N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) and cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) are useful for severity assessment in patients with pulmonary hypertension (PH). Correlations between these tests in pre-capillary PH patients is less well studied. Methods: We studied 23 pat...
