NPPB and COVID-19: The area under the curve of plasma levels of NT-proBNP for identification of patients with COVID-19 who had pulmonary vein enlargement in chest CT was 0.765 (95% CI 0.688-0.842) and 0.731 (95% CI 0.648-0.813) for the individuals who had interlobar fissure thickening (p < 0.001).<h4>Conclusions</h4>The diagnostic accuracy of plasma NT-proBNP and its positive correlation with radiographic features of congestion in chest CT scan of patients with COVID-19 can be helpful for administering appropriate medications to prevent blood volume overload.
