Article Synopsis
- BNP serves as a useful biomarker for evaluating coronary artery disease (CAD), showing increased levels in patients with varying severity of conditions like stable angina and acute coronary syndromes.
- Patients with more advanced coronary lesions demonstrated higher BNP levels, particularly in those with multivessel disease compared to those with fewer affected vessels.
- The study found a strong correlation between BNP levels and the extent of coronary artery disease, reaffirming its potential role in predicting disease severity even when systolic function is preserved.
