Amino-terminal-pro-B-type natriuretic peptide levels and low diastolic blood pressure: Potential relevance to the diastolic J-curve

Background: There is debate whether the J-curve relationship between cardiac event risk and DBP is because of inherent cardiac risk or is a consequence of blood pressure (BP) lowering therapy. Methods: We examined the association between the cardiovascular risk marker amino-terminal-pro-B-type natri...
