We evaluated predictors of circulating NT-proBNPKeywords: amino terminal pro B type natriuretic peptide; natriuretic factor; unclassified drug; adult; aged; area under the curve; article; body mass; comorbidity; controlled study; coronary artery disease; creatinine clearance; diabetes mellitus; diagnostic accuraPopulation-based detection of systolic and diastolic dysfunction with amino-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide200610.1016/j.ahj.2006.05.0072015-12-09
