Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction, atrial fibrillation, and increased NT ‑proBNP levels : An emergent clinical dilemma.

CONCLUSION: Patients with HFpEF and AF have higher levels of NT-proBNP, which may exceed the upper limits defined in guidelines. This study underlines the importance of measuring NT-proBNP levels in the stable phase and proposes a rule-in level for the decompensated phase. PMID: 32997152 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
