Zusammenfassung

Background: Baseline levels of N-Terminal pro Brain Natriuretic Peptide (NT-proBNP), an established biomarker of myocardial stress, have been independently associated with total mortality in elderly people. We evaluated if NT-proBNP changes were associated with 6-year mortality after adjustment for well-established confounders. Methods: NT-proBNP levels were measured at baseline and at the 3-year follow-up (FU) exam in community-dwelling adults ≥65 years, participants of the Activity and Function in the Elderly in Ulm study – ActiFE Ulm. We assessed the relative change of log-transformed (ln) NT-proBNP levels fr…
