Plasma NT-proBNP and pulmonary to systemic blood flow ratio in congenital heart defects with left-to-right shunts

Background Cardiac left-to-right shunts changes to the pulmonary-to-systemic blood flow ratio (Qp/Qs ratio). This ratio can be used to monitor the hemodynamics of the heart. Left-to right-shunts cause the release of amino terminal proB-ty natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) that can be utilized as a spe...
