Effect of Balloon Valvuloplasty in Patients With Severe Aortic Stenosis on Levels of N-Terminal Pro-B-Type Natriuretic Peptide

Plasma levels of brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) have been shown to correlate to aortic stenosis severity and are predictive of symptom development and survival. They also predict postoperative outcomes after valve replacement in patients with aortic stenosis. The early evolution of N-terminal–pro-B...
