- | raised natriuretic peptide level is evidence of heart failure (highly sensitive) |
- | elevated NT-proBNP after an anthracycline identifies patients at risk of CTRCD |
- | CTRCD is not limited to high-dose regimes |
- | persistent elevations after 72 hrs predict progressive decline in left ventricular failure |
- | raised levels are associated with a greater risk of developing trastuzumab CTRCD |
