The relationship between NT-proBNP and ejection fraction in heart failure patients with obesity and atrial fibrillation vs their counterparts without atrial fibrillation. Patients with heart failure and atrial fibrillation presented different levels of NT-proBNP levels, depending on left ventricular ejection fraction. Patients with HFrEF and atrial fibrillation presented higher natriuretic peptide levels in comparison with those with HFmrEF and HFpEF. In the absence of atrial fibrillation these differences were attenuated. The presence of atrial fibrillation (p=0.0095) was an independent predictor of increased NT-proBNP values.
