PREDICTIVE CUT-OFF VALUE OF NT-PROBNP FOR LONG-TERM SURVIVAL IN VIETNAMESE PATIENTS WITH NEW-ONSET HEART FAILURE

Description

PREDICTIVE CUT-OFF VALUE OF NT-PROBNP FOR LONG-TERM SURVIVAL IN VIETNAMESE PATIENTS WITH NEW-ONSET HEART FAILURE

Steps to reproduce

Baseline data included standardized interviews, blood tests, blood pressure (BP) measurements, and laboratory data including NT-proBNP levels, electrocardiograms, and echocardiograms. Echocardiograms were analyzed for the left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF; Deveraux formula modified for the American Society of Echocardiography guidelines) and left ventricular end-diastolic and systolic volumes. Heart failure was diagnosed based on specific symptoms, such as dyspnea and fatigue, history, and physical examination.
