A Combination of N-Terminal proB-Type Natriuretic Peptide and Myoglobin Can Predict Severe Complications After Major Non-Cardiac Surgery in Elderly Patients: A Prospective Observational Cohort Study

A Combination of N-Terminal proB-Type Natriuretic Peptide and Myoglobin Can Predict Severe Complications After Major Non-Cardiac Surgery in Elderly Patients: A Prospective Observational Cohort Study

Background: Previous studies have demonstrated that serum N-terminal proB-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) was a predictor of adverse cardiovascular outcomes after surgery. We performed a prospective study to evaluate if NT-proBNP could be a sensitive marker of overall postoperative outcomes in...
