The article comments on a study by W. Marz, et. al. on the relationship between N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) and risk of cardiovascular (CV) and all-cause mortality in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). According to the author, the study results extend the prognostic use of NT-proBNP and may improve risk stratification in patients with CAD.
