BNP: B-type natriuretic peptide; CAD: coronary artery disease; CKD: chronic kidney disease; CMR: cardiac magnetic resonance imaging; EF: ejection fraction; eGFR: estimated glomerular filtration rate; ESKD: end-stage kidney disease; HD: hemodialysis; GLS: global longitudinal strain; HFpEF: heart failure with preserved ejection fraction; LV: left ventricle; LVEF: left ventricular ejection fraction; LVMi: left ventricular mass index; NT-pro-BNP: N-terminal prohormone of brain natriuretic peptide; T1: longitudinal relaxation time; T2: transverse relaxation time; MACE: major adverse cardiac events. Here, NPPB is linked to chronic kidney disease.
