SummaryIntroductionNo agreement has been reached regarding the best strategy to detect left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH). This study examined the role of N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) in the diagnosis of LVH in hypertensive patients and the potential factors that may influence its diagnostic performance.MethodsThe global accuracy of NT-proBNP in diagnosing LVH was assessed using a receiver-operating characteristic (ROC) curve. The influence of patients’ characteristics on test accuracy was studied with a ROC regression based on a probit model. Ninety-three subjects were included. All had NT-proBNP measured and underwent electrocardiography and echocardiography, with calculation of the left ventricular mass index (LVM...
