Measurement Of NT-proBNP to Predict Outcomes in Surgery
Recruiting now
Conditions studied: Vascular Surgical Procedure
In brief
The team is investigating whether N-terminal pro B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) and other cardiac markers are useful for predicting outcomes for patients undergoing vascular surgery. By measuring NT-proBNP before and after surgery, the investigators may be able to determine which patients are at risk of an adverse outcome, such as a heart attack or death.
