Abstract

Few epidemiological studies have investigated the association between changes in serum N-terminal pro B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) and mortality in the general Asian population.
We followed 2,703 community-dwelling Japanese residents aged ≥40 years who had serum NT-proBNP concentrations measured in both 2002-2003 and 2007-2008 over a median period of 10.3 years. Changes in NT-proBNP were categorized as decreasing (change ≤-25%), no change (-25%Changes in serum NT-proBNP concentrations may indicate mortality risk in a community-dwelling Asian population.
