  2. Background & Objectives • Background: The prognostic value of B-type natriuretic peptides (BNPs) in low-risk patients with stable coronary artery disease remains unclear. • Objectives: The purpose of this study was to assess 1) the association between BNP and N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) and the incidence of specific cardiovascular events in low-risk patients with stable coronary disease, 2) the incremental prognostic information obtained from these two biomarkers compared with traditional risk factors, and 3) their ability to identify patients who may benefit from angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibition.

  3. Methods • Baseline plasma BNP and NT-proBNP concentrations were measured in 3,761 patients with stable coronary artery disease and preserved left ventricular function participating in the PEACE (Prevention of Events With Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme Inhibition) study, a placebo-controlled trial of trandolapril. • Multivariable Cox regression was used to assess the association between natriuretic peptide concentrations and the incidence of cardiovascular mortality, fatal or nonfatal myocardial infarction, heart failure, and stroke.

  4. Treatment assignment Age Gender Body mass index Ejection fraction <50% Estimated glomerular filtration rate Current smoking Total cholesterol C-reactive protein History of: hypertension or measured hypertension, myocardial infarction, diabetes, stroke, percutaneous coronary intervention, coronary artery bypass grafting, Use of: a beta-blocker, lipid-lowering drug, aspirin or an antiplatelet medication, or diuretic. MV Adjustment Outcomes were adjusted for:

  5. Association Between BNPs as Continuous Variables and CV Outcomes * Per 1 SD pg/ml in log BNP and log NT-proBNP, adjusted for randomization status

  6. NT-ProBNP and CV Death

  7. NT-ProBNP and Heart Failure

  8. NT-ProBNP and Stroke

  9. Multivariable Analysis of Association Between BNPs as Continuous Variables and CV Outcomes * Per 1 SD pg/ml in log BNP and NT-proBNP.

  10. Conclusion In low-risk patients with stable coronary artery disease and preserved ventricular function, BNPs provide strong and incremental prognostic information to traditional risk factors.
