Plasma N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide concentrations may help to identify patients with very low-risk acute pulmonary embolism: A preliminary study
Among subjects with 0 points on the sPESI, those with concentrations of NT-proBNP exceeding 1,641 pg/mL might require closer attention; remaining patients could be considered candidates for outpatient treatment. However, these findings warrant further investigation in a large, prospective group of patients.
