Figure 1: Brain natriuretic peptide levels and outcomes after discharge.
Levels of brain natriuretic peptide are the highest in survivors with cardiac events at 1 year after discharge, equally higher in survivors with cardiac events and nonsurvivors than in survivors without cardiac events at 5 years after discharge, and the highest in nonsurvivors at 10 years after discharge. Values are means and standard errors.
