Plasma brain natriuretic peptide as a biomarker for haemodynamic outcome and mortality following pulmonary endarterectomy for chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension

OBJECTIVES: In chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH), right ventricular (RV) dysfunction is associated with increased morbidity and mortality following pulmonary endarterectomy. Plasma brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) levels were previously shown to correlate with RV (dys)function. We...
