Abstract

BACKGROUND: This study compared NT-proBNP levels and the association with cardiovascular markers between Africans and Caucasians from South Africa. METHODS: This cross-sectional study involved 201 Africans and 255 Caucasians from the North West province, South Africa. Serum NT-proBNP concentrations, blood pressure, pulse wave velocity and arterial compliance were measured. RESULTS: NT-proBNP levels were significantly higher (P
