Biomarkers for Cardiovascular Risk with a Focus on BNP
Michael Clark, MD, FACC, DBIM and Mike Fulks, MD

 
Our panel will discuss biomarkers associated with cardiovascular mortality including those related to plaque and vascular vulnerability (more traditional risk factors/tests) but focus on left ventricular function (NT-ProBNP). The BNP discussion will include recently published industry mortality data as well as other supplementary literature. We will include discussion on the use of cardiovascular biomarkers together to provide a better overall measurement of cardiovascular risk.
