Abstract
NT-proBNP is higher in outpatients after myocardial infarction than in the general population. In symptomatic patients, a cut-point of 348 pg/mL yields satisfactory sensitivity and specificity for the detection of significant LVD (EF < 35%). Furthermore, significant LVD can be virtually ruled out in symptomatic and asymptomatic outpatients after myocardial infarction at below-threshold concentrations.
