Heart stress based on NT-proBNP changes may improve CVD risk stratification
A study published online Aug.
AI Summary
A study published online Aug. 18 in the Annals of Internal Medicine suggests that tracking changes in N‑terminal pro‑B‑type natriuretic peptide (NT‑proBNP) levels—an indicator of heart stress—in community‑dwelling older adults can enhance risk stratification for cardiovascular disease and mortality. The research examined longitudinal NT‑proBNP measurements in this population. The findings imply that monitoring heart‑stress markers over time may provide clinicians with better tools to predict cardiovascular outcomes in older adults.
