Background: The left atrial appendage is involved in secretion of N-terminal-pro B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP). Percutaneous left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO) for prevention of stroke may cause variations in NT-proBNP release. Aim: This study aimed to assess the diagnostic value of NT-proBNP after LAAO. Methods: The study group comprised 53 patients in whom LAAO was performed. The patients with heart failure (HF) and reduced ejection fraction (EF) were allocated to group I (n = 16) whereas patients with no HF symptoms and EF > 40% were allocated to group II (n = 37). The symptomatic patients with EF > 40% were excluded. NT-proBNP values were measured prior to LAAO, at one–two days, and at three-month follow-up. EF, six-minut...
