The association of serum N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) with insulin resistance (IR), as measured by homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), in the general population is unclear. Our study aimed to characterize its relationship in a large community-based population. Subjects were recruited from the Danyang city between 2017 and 2019.

We aim to examine their relationship in hypertensive patients compared with that in normotensive subjects. Our study included 1887 subjects enrolled from Danyang between 2018 and 2019.

Methods And Results: The study subjects were recruited from Danyang from 2017 to 2019.
The association of albuminuria, as measured by urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio (UACR) concentration, with subclinical cardiac dysfunction in hypertensive patients is unclear. Our study aimed to examine its relationship in hypertensive patients compared with that in normotensive patients. The study participants were recruited from Danyang, a city of Jiangsu Province from 2017 to 2019.

However, whether NNMT might play a role in the development of heart failure remains to be elucidated. In this study, the associations between levels of serum me-NAM and left ventricular structure and function were investigated in Chinese patients.
