• Abstract:

  Purpose Beta-blockers exert complex effects on plasma N-terminal-pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) level. We aimed to investigate whether NT-proBNP was still able to predict the prognosis of the disease after administration of a beta-blocker. Methods Forty-four patients with chronic congestive heart failure were enrolled in the study to..
