Natriuretic Peptides Track Left Atrial Size Changes Over Time in Kidney Failure Patients

The takeaway

Longitudinal natriuretic peptide measurements tracked left atrial volume changes in ESRD patients, with NT-proBNP best reflecting atrial remodeling over time — a non-invasive monitor for cardiac structural changes.
