## Abstract ## Background In the early identification of cardiovascular risk, it is essential to establish a biological marker for cardiac complications that is comparable to albuminuria for nephropathy. We tested the hypothesis that __N__‐terminal pro‐brain natriuretic peptide (NT‐proBNP) might b
## Background: N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (nt-probnp) is an important biomarker to indicate cardiac function, but its significance in cardiac surgery is still unclear. ## Objective: To explore clinical significance of serum nt-probnp and their dynamic characteristics in patients wit
