Abstract

We examined the relation between B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) levels and a history of stable angina pectoris and/or healed myocardial infarction in 1,240 patients who were evaluated in the emergency department for possible heart failure. In patients who had heart failure, there was no relation between BNP levels and previous stable angina pectoris and/or healed myocardial infarction. However, in patients who did not have heart failure, there was a relation between BNP levels and previous stable angina pectoris and/or healed myocardial infarction but no significant independent relation in multiple regression analysis.
