Are the associations between metabolic variables and NT-proBNP blunted at pathological ranges : the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis?
In a large cardiovascular disease-free cohort, NT-proBNP within the lower (physiological) range was inversely associated with TC, LDL-C, TG and insulin resistance with different inflection points, but at higher (pathological) levels these associations were blunted.
CFPD during childhood is associated with an increased risk for dementia in men who survived until old age.
