Characteristics of acute congestive heart failure with normal ejection fraction and less elevated B-type natriuretic peptide

Background Heterogeneity in B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) levels, especially among individuals with acute heart failure with normal left ventricular ejection fraction (HFNEF), can cause confusion in interpreting results. We investigated the characteristics of cases of acute HFNEF with only modest...
