Lower B ‐type natriuretic peptide levels predict left ventricular concentric remodelling and insulin resistance

ConclusionsLower BNP levels are linked to either insulin resistance or LV concentric remodelling in a population with normal plasma BNP levels, suggesting that participants with lower natriuretic peptide level might be vulnerable to the development of metabolic disorders and LV morphological abnormalities.
