Korean J Intern Med. 2019;34(4):811-818. Published online December 31, 2018
Background/Aims: Carbohydrate antigen 125 (CA-125) is an emerging prognostic biomarker for heart failure. We aimed to test the long-term prognostic value of CA-125 in combination with N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) in patients with acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF).

Chan Soon Park, Sang-Eun Lee, Hyun-Jai Cho, Yong-Jin Kim, Hyun-Jae Kang, Byung-Hee Oh, Hae-Young Lee
Korean J Intern Med. 2018;33(5):911-921. Published online December 18, 2017
Background/Aims: Fluid retention occurs in patients with heart failure, accounting for dyspnea. We investigated the diagnostic implication of body fluid status, assessed by bio-impedance analysis (BIA), in acute heart failure (AHF) among patients who presented with dyspnea.
Methods: A total of 100 ..

Plasma N-Terminal Pro-B-Type Natriuretic Peptide Is Predictive of Perioperative Cardiac Events in Patients Undergoing Vascular Surgery
Ji Hyun Yang, Jin Ho Choi, Young-Wook Ki, Dong Ik Kim, Duk-Kyung Kim, Jeong Rang Park, Jae K. Oh, Seung-Hyuk Choi
Korean J Intern Med. 2012;27(3):301-310. Published online September 1, 2012
Background/AimsIdentification of patients at high risk for perioperative cardiac events (POCE) is clinically important. This study aimed to determine whether preoperative measurement of plasma N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) could predict POCE, and compar..

Combination of Uric Acid and NT-ProBNP: A More Useful Prognostic Marker for Short-Term Clinical Outcomes in Patients with Acute Heart Failure
Hyoung-Seob Park, Hyungseop Kim, Ji-Hyun Sohn, Hong-Won Shin, Yun-Kyeong Cho, Hyuck-Jun Yoon, Chang-Wook Nam, Seung-Ho Hur, Yoon-Nyun Kim, Kwon-Bae Kim, Hee-Joon Park
Korean J Intern Med. 2010;25(3):253-259. Published online August 31, 2010
Background/AimsIn patients with heart failure (HF), N-terminal prohormone brain natriuretic peptide (NT-ProBNP) is a standard prognostic indicator. In addition, uric acid (UA) was recently established as a prognostic marker for poor outcome in chronic HF. The aim of this stud..
