Background
Prognostic models for patients with chronic heart failure are generally based on a single assessment but treatment is often given with the intention of changing risk; re- evaluation of risk is an important aspect of care. The prognostic va... Read More about Dynamic risk stratification using serial measurements of plasma concentrations of natriuretic peptides in patients with heart failure.

Exploring the relation between changes in NT-proBNP and renal function in patients with suspected heart failure using structural equation modelling (2017)
Journal Article
Zhang, J., Wong, K., Clark, A. L., & Cleland, J. G. (2017). Exploring the relation between changes in NT-proBNP and renal function in patients with suspected heart failure using structural equation modelling. International journal of cardiology, 233, 67-72. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijcard.2017.01.127

Background The relation between changes in NT-proBNP and renal function has commonly been studied using multiple regressions, which may ignore the complexity of relations between related variables. Methods and results Data were collected from patient...
