Comparison between CA125 and NT-proBNP for evaluating congestion in acute heart failure.
Carbohydrate antigen 125 (CA125) and B-type natriuretic peptides are surrogate markers of congestion in patients with acute heart failure (AHF). The aim of the study was to assess the association between CA125 and NT-proBNP and congestion parameters in patients with AHF. ⋯ In patients with AHF, serum CA125 levels are associated more significantly than NT-proBNP with a state of congestion.
