In obese patients, HF was not associated with higher plasma concentrations of NT-proBNP (Estimate: 0.063; 95%CI: –0.037–1.300; P = 0.064), MR-proANP (Estimate: 0.207; 95%CI: –0.101–0.515; P = 0.187), MR-proADM (Estimate: 0.112; 95%CI: –0.047–0.271; P = 0.168), or copeptin (Estimate: 0.093; 95%CI: –0.333–0.518; P = 0.669). This evidence concerns the gene NPPB and hydrops fetalis.
