Popis: BackgroudThe aim of this study was to assess the prognostic association of plasma levels of N-terminal prohormone of brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) with clinical outcomes of patients with microvascular angina (MVA). Methods: In this international prospective cohort study of MVA by the Coronary Vasomotor Disorders International Study (COVADIS) group, we examined the association between plasma NT-proBNP levels and the incidence of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), including cardiovascular death, non-fatal myocardial infarction, non-fatal stroke, and hospitalization due to heart failure or unstable angina. Results: We examined a total of 226 MVA patients (M/F 66/160, 61.9 ± 10.2 [SD] yrs.) with both plasma NT-proBNP levels and echocardiography data available at the time of enrolment. The median level of NT-proBNP level was 94 pg/ml, while mean left ventricular ejection fraction was 69.2 ± 10.9 % and E/e’ 10.7 ± 5.2. During follow-up period of a median of 365 days (IQR 365–482), 29 MACEs occurred. Receiver-operating characteristics curve analysis identified plasma NT-proBNP level of 78 pg/ml as the optimal cut-off value. Multivariable logistic regression analysis revealed that plasma NT-proBNP level ≥ 78 pg/ml significantly correlated with the incidence of MACE (odds ratio (OR) [95 % confidence interval (CI)] 3.11[1.14–8.49], P = 0.001). Accordingly, Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed a significantly worse prognosis in the group with NT-proBNP ≥ 78 (log-rank test, P
