Prognostic Value of NT-proBNP versus Killip Classification in Patients with Acute Coronary Syndromes

Abstract Background: Plasma levels of brain natriuretic peptides have better diagnostic accuracy compared to clinical-radiologic judgment for acute heart failure. In acute coronary syndromes (ACS), the prognostic value of acute heart failure is incorporated into predictive models through Killip cla...
