title = "Prediction of congestive state in acute and chronic heart failure: The association between NT-proBNP and left atrial strain and its prognostic value",
abstract = "The relief of congestion is crucial to improve heart failure (HF) patient's quality of life and prognosis. N-terminal-pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) is a well-known marker of congestion, although with limited specificity. Peak atrial longitudinal strain (PALS) by speckle tracking echocardiography (STE) is an index of intracardiac pressure and HF prognosis. We aimed to determine the association between NT-proBNP and PALS and its prognostic implications in patients with HF.",
