NPPB and diabetes mellitus: A population-based study of 5502 individuals without HF, but with different glycemic status (3380 normoglycemic, 1125 with prediabetes, and 997 with diabetes) showed that elevated NT-proBNP values (>100 pg/mL) were associated with all-cause and cardiovascular mortality, regardless of glycemic levels, age, sex, body mass index, or other cardiovascular risk factors [54].
