The prognostic effect of brain natriuretic peptide levels on outcomes of hospitalized patients with COVID-19

Natriuretic peptides are biomarkers of myocardial stress and are frequently elevated among patients with severe respiratory illnesses, typically in the absence of elevated cardiac-filling pressures or clinical heart failure. Elevation of brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) or NT-proBNP is associated wit...
