Predictive Utility of Atrial, N-Terminal Pro-Atrial, and N-Terminal Pro-B-Type Natriuretic Peptides for Mortality and Cardiovascular Events in the General Community: A 9-Year Follow-up Study

Our results suggest that NT-proBNP is a more robust cardiac biomarker compared with ANP or NT-proANP and is independently predictive of mortality and HF in the general population free of overt HF.
