N-Treminal-Pro Brain Natriuretic Peptide (NT-pro BNP) and Troponin I as prognostic markers of septic cardiomyopathy
2013
Abstrakt
NT-pro BNP values higher than 3910 pg/ml and positive troponin I values in septic patients over 65 years taken on day 3 could be an early marker of risk in patients with myocardial dysfunction. Continuously rising values of NT-pro BNP and higher levels of troponin I during severe sepsis are helpful prognostic markers, superior to other predictor of outcome.
Rising values of NT-pro BNP and troponin I need diagnostic precision and targeted therapy of septic myocardial dysfunction.
