Screening for precapillary pulmonary hypertension in chronic myeloproliferative disorders: the role of N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide and vascular endothelial growth factor – a pilot study

DOI: 10.5114/aoms.2020.93315
Abstract: Introduction: Precapillary pulmonary hypertension (PH) implies a worse prognosis in myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN). N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) is elevated in cardiopulmonary involvement. In MPN patients with precapillary PH, elevated vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)… read more here.
