Overview

Retrospective analysis evaluates NT-proBNP correlation with infarct growth rate in anterior circulation stroke, suggesting prognostic value for risk stratification.

Key Points

  • To evaluate the relationship between NT-proBNP levels and infarct growth rate in ischemic stroke patients.
  • Retrospective analysis of 66 patients with anterior circulation stroke due to large vessel occlusion
  • Assessment of NT-proBNP levels within 24 hours of admission and initiation of CTP within 4.5 hours of symptom onset
  • Calculation of infarct growth rate based on ischemic core volume and onset-to-imaging time.
  • Median NT-proBNP level was 1082 pg/mL, with higher levels in fast progressors (1395 pg/mL) than in slow-to-intermediate progressors (746 pg/mL; p 0.02)
  • NT-proBNP positively correlated with CBV volume (p 0.005; rho 0.3) and IGR (p 0.04; rho 0.3)
  • 37 patients (56%) were classified as fast progressors with a median infarct growth rate of 11 mL/h.
