Comparison of Transthoracic Echocardiography With N-Terminal Pro-Brain Natriuretic Peptide as a Tool for Risk Stratification of Patients Undergoing Major Noncardiac Surgery
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: The role of preoperative transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) for the risk stratification has not been well investigated yet. We compared the predictive power of TTE with N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP), a representative biomarker that predicts periope...
