Popis: Objective. The prognostic value of N-terminal procerebral natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) in patients with heart failure (HF) is well established. In contrast, its role as an early predictor of mortality in patients hospitalized for heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HF-EF) and heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HF-EF) is less well documented. Therefore, the objective of this study is to evaluate the usefulness and prognostic value of plasma NT-proBNP in these patients. Method. This retrospective observational study included 620 patients admitted for acute heart failure, classified into 3 groups according to their left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF): HF-EF (LVEF ≥ 50%), HF-mEF (heart failure with ejection fraction mean) (LVEF 35-49%) and HF-rEF (LVEF 15001pg / ml (30.6%). The mortality rate increased significantly in patients with NT-proBNP concentrations > 15001 pg / ml (40%) and decreased with NT-proBNP levels
