Highlights•The current risk scores may underestimate surgical risk in higher-risk patients
who underwent cardiac surgery.•Preoperative natriuretic peptides predict adverse outcomes …

The objective of this systematic review was to evaluate the current evidence on the utility of
preoperative B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) and N-terminal-pro B-type natriuretic peptide …

Objectives The purpose of this study is to identify the risk factors of in-hospital mortality in
patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and to evaluate the performance of traditional …

Background Postoperative heart failure remains the major cause of death after cardiac
surgery. As N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) is a predictor for …

Background Current preoperative models use clinical risk factors alone in estimating risk of
in‐hospital mortality following cardiac surgery. However, novel biomarkers now exist to …

Patients' prognostication around cardiac surgery is key to better assess risk–benefit balance.
Preoperative brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) biomarker has been associated with mortality …

Background Novel cardiac biomarkers including soluble suppression of tumorigenicity 2,
galectin-3, and the N-terminal prohormone of brain natriuretic peptide may be associated …

Objective The primary aim was to investigate the role of underlying heart disease on
preoperative NT-proBNP levels in patients admitted for adult cardiac surgery, after adjusting …

The aim of this study was to investigate the N-terminal brain natriuretic peptide precursor
(NT-proBNP) levels in the peripheral blood of patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) …

BACKGROUND: After coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery, heart failure is still major
problem. The valuable marker for it is needed. AIM: Evaluating the role of serial NT-proBNP …
