N-terminal proB-type natriuretic peptide levels aid the diagnosis of left ventricular dysfunction in patients with severe acute exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and renal dysfunction

ABSTRACT Background and objective: The aim of this study was to assess the performance of N‐terminal proB‐type natriuretic peptide (NT‐proBNP) levels for the diagnosis of left ventricular dysfunction in patients with severe acute exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and ren...
