Clinical significance of serum-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide in patients with acute cerebral stroke

摘要

BACKGROUND: To investigate the relationships of the changes of serum N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) level with the severity of the disease (infarct size, amount of bleeding, National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale [NIHSS] Score and Glasgow Coma Scale [GCS] Score) and prognosis in acute cerebral stroke patients.
