Natriuretic Peptides, Body Mass Index and Heart Failure Risk: Pooled Analyses of SAVOR ‐TIMI 53, DECLARE‐TIMI 58 and CAMELLIA‐TIMI 61

ConclusionsThe risk of HHF varies across BMI categories for any given range of circulating NT-proBNP. These findings showcase the importance of considering BMI when applying NT-proBNP for HF risk stratification, particularly for patients with low-level elevations in NT-proBNP (125-<450 pg/mL) where there appears to be a clinically meaningful absolute and relative risk gradient.This article is protected by copyright.
