What This Study Found

Combined use of high-sensitivity troponin-T and NT-proBNP natriuretic peptide provides superior heart failure diagnostic utility compared to either biomarker alone.

Key Numbers

173 patients underwent TAVI. Elevated BNP is currently the only biomarker in aortic valve guidelines (for asymptomatic severe stenosis).
