NPPB and hydrops fetalis: The major findings of the present study were: 1) Rising and stable hsTnT levels at discharge was noted in 36% and 17% of ADHF patients with abnormal hsTnT levels on admission and not hsTnT level on admission but the rising or stable hsTnT levels at discharge was a significant predictor of HF-related future hospitalization; 2) Both the net and percent change in hsTnT correlated with changes in BNP level; 3) The rising and stable hsTnT levels at discharge was associated with inadequate decrease of BNP levels and previous HF hospitalization.
