Difference Analysis of N-Terminal B-Type Natriuretic Peptide, High-Sensitivity Troponin I, and Endothelin-1 Levels in Patients With Normotensive and Hypertensive Acute Heart Failure

In patients with normotensive AHF, higher levels of hs-troponin I were observed, with no significant differences in other cardiac biomarkers. A higher proportion of males and a lower prevalence of hypertension as a risk factor were also noted in normotensive AHF, although these differences were not statistically significant.
