NT-proBNP and diastolic left ventricular function in patients with Marfan syndrome

NT-proBNP and diastolic left ventricular function in patients with Marfan syndrome

Aims: Subclinical diastolic dysfuntion in patients with preclinical heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) has been demonstrated in patients with Marfan syndrome (MFS). We investigated the relationship between diastolic dysfunction and NT-proBNP levels in patients with MFS. Methods a...
