Prognostic values of highly sensitive cardiac troponin T and B-type natriuretic peptide for clinical features in hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy: a cross-sectional study.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Although B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) and highly sensitive cardiac troponin T (cTnT) are useful for the evaluation of clinical features in various cardiovascular diseases, there are comparatively few data regarding the utility of these parameters in patients with hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (HOCM). The goal of this study was to assess the association between BNP, cTnT and clinical parameters in patients with HOCM.

Design

Cross-sectional survey

Settings

The relationship between BNP, cTnT and clinical end points and echocardiographic data was investigated.

Participants

This study included 102 consecutive outpatients with HOCM who were clinically stable.

Results

BNP was significantly associated with both maximum left ventricular (
