Abstract
⺠Multiple functional and structural echocardiographic parameters are related to natriuretic peptides in people aged 80 and older. ⺠Adjusting for confounders only improves the diagnostic accuracy of natriuretic peptides for cardiac dysfunction in subjects with CAF or PM. ⺠Different cut-off values in strata of individual confounders could be used to optimize the diagnostic characteristics of natriuretic peptides.
