Summary:

       The paper deals with a group of 157 patients followed for the period of four years in view of the relation of concentrations of BNP or NT-proBNP to overall mortality. In the introduction the authors describe their experience with natriuretic peptides; their own data follow. The Kaplan- Meier analysis of probability of survival proved to possess a strong predictive efficiency of the concentrations of BNP or NT-proBNP for overall mortality of the observed cohort.

        Key words: Natriuretic peptides - Overall mortality - Clinical biochemistry in cardiology - Atrial natriuretic peptide - Brain-natriuretic peptide
