Patients with higher NT-proBNP levels were significantly older; had worse frailty scores; had a higher prevalence of previous histories of arrhythmia and chronic heart failure; had higher beta 2-microglobulin and lactate dehydrogenase levels; and had lower albumin, estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), and hemoglobin levels. Here, NPPB is linked to cardiac arrhythmia.
