Limited utilities of N-terminal pro B-type natriuretic peptide and other newer risk markers compared with traditional risk factors for prediction of significant angiographic lesions in stable coronary artery disease

Abstract

Objective:To investigate the usefulness of N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) as a predictive marker for angiographically significant coronary artery disease (CAD) and CAD severity compared with other newer biochemical risk...
