摘要: Background— The role of the vasopressin system after acute myocardial infarction is unclear. Copeptin, C-terminal part prohormone, secreted stoichiometrically with vasopressin. We compared prognostic value copeptin and an established marker, N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NTproBNP), infarction. Methods Results— In this prospective single-hospital study, we recruited 980 consecutive post–acute patients (718 men, median [range] age 66 [24 to 95] years), follow-up over 342 (range 0 764) days. Plasma was highest on admission (n=132, P<0.001, day 1 versus days 2 5) reached a plateau at 3 5. patients, (measured elevated in who died (n=101) or were readmitted heart failure (n=49) survivors (median 18.5 [0.6 441.0] 6.5 [0.3 267.0] pmol/L, P<0.0005). With logistic regression analysis, (odds rat...
