December 11, 2006: Comparison of N-Terminal Pro–B-Natriuretic Peptide, C-Reactive Protein, and Creatinine Clearance for Prognosis in Patients With Known Coronary Heart Disease
Educational Objective: To understand the strength of 3 potential predictors of risk for subsequent cardiovascular events in patients with stable coronary heart disease: N-terminal pro-B-natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP), C-reactive protein (CRP), and creatinine clearance.
