Natriuretic Peptides as Predictors for the Diagnosis of Pulmonary Hypertension Secondary to Left Heart Disease and for the Assessment of Its Severity

Filip Sawczak, Agata Kukfisz, Aleksandra Soloch, Kamila Kurkiewicz et autres

Pulmonary hypertension (PH) frequently complicates heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) and worsens prognosis. Right heart catheterization (RHC) remains the diagnostic gold standard, but natriuretic peptides may help identify patients requiring invasive assessment. We retrospectively analyzed 563 HFrEF patients who underwent …
