Does percutaneous coronary revascularization reduce plasma N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide concentration in stable coronary artery disease?
This study demonstrates that removal of fixed LAD stenosis reduces plasma NT-proBNP concentration. This has implications for interpretation of natriuretic peptide levels in clinical settings and as screening tool for LV systolic dysfunction.
These results raise the possibility that M344 may prove particularly effective in the treatment of endometrial cancers and ovarian cancers.
