Table 2 Correlation between NT-proBNP and ICG data.
| ICG parameter | Correlation coefficient | P-value |
|---|---|---|
| TFC | 0.204 | |
| TFCI | 0.207 | |
| CO | −0.034 | 0.559 |
| SI | 0.015 | 0.798 |
| STR | 0.1 | 0.085 |
| LCW | −0.039 | 0.506 |
| LCWI | −0.028 | 0.635 |
| NT-proBNP – amino-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide; ICG – transthoracic impedance cardiography; TFC – thoracic fluid content; TFCI – thoracic fluid content index; CO – cardiac output; SI – systolic index; STR – systolic time ratio; LCW – left cardiac work; LCWI – left cardiac work index. | ||
