Increased Levels of Cardiac Troponin I in Subjects with Extremely Low B-type Natriuretic Peptide Levels

Abstract Because of the lack of studies focused on the biological implications of extremely low B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) levels, we investigated whether extremely low BNP levels could be harmful to the cardiovascular system due to compromised cardio-protection. By using cardiac troponin I (c...
