Controlled Clinical Trial
Serum NT-proBNP on admission can predict ST-segment resolution in patients with acute myocardial infarction after primary percutaneous coronary intervention.
The aim of this study was to investigate the value of initial serum N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) concentrations in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients for predicting ST-segment resolution (STR) after primary percutaneous coronary intervention (pPCI). ⋯ Serum NT-proBNP concentrations in STEMI patients on hospital admission were useful in predicting non-STR after pPCI.
