NPPB and myeloid sarcoma: NT-pro-BNP levels were elevated along with systolic blood pressure, triglycerides, and glucose within the East Indian sub-population while only the systolic blood pressure was elevated in the African sub-population. The East Indian sub-group fulfilled the criteria for MS and, therefore, had a higher risk for CVD within the Trinidad population. As a result, the hs-CRP and NT-pro-BNP levels can be deemed a sufficient marker for MS in high-risk subgroups for CVD in the Trinidad population.
