Abstract

Background: Recently it has been shown that elevated NTProBNP levels were associated with more severe CAD, slower blood flow in culprit artery and more proximal lesions in the coronary artery. Outcomes following PCI depend upon lesion morphology and slow/noreflow phenomenon which occurs in 5–25% cases. Various risk scores, e.g. MAYO risk score have been devised to predict outcome after PCI, however data comparing NTProBNP levels with various risk scores especially in the setting of slow/noreflow are lacking.
