Table 1.
Correlation between NT-pro BNP levels and echocardiographic findings. NT-pro BNP levels are positively correlated with systolic left ventricular internal dimension and negatively correlated with ejection fraction.
LVIDS, left ventricular systolic internal dimension; LVIDD, left ventricular diastolic internal dimension; LA, left atrium; EF, ejection fraction
*Correlation is significant at the 0.05 level (2-tailed).
†Correlation is significant at the 0.01 level (2-tailed).
