Early recanalization and plasma brain natriuretic peptide as an indicator of left ventricular function after acute myocardial infarction

Background Although plasma brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) levels have been widely measured in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI), it is still uncertain whether the early recanalization modulates the levels and whether the levels can predict chronic stage left ventricular function. This...
