NT-proBNP Reflects Left Ventricular Hypertrophy Rather than Left Ventricular Dilatation or Systolic Dysfunction in Patients with Fabry Disease.

NT-proBNP Reflects Hypertrophy Rather than Dilatation or Dysfunction Highly significant correlations were found for interventricular septal thickness (LVH, r = 0.678; p < 0.001 vs. no LVH, r = 0.243; p = 0.276, Figure 3 A,D), left ventricular maximum wall thickness (LVH, r = 0.717; p < 0.001 vs. no LVH, r = −0.227; p = 0.502, Figure 3 B,E) and left ventricular mass index (LVH, r = 0.549; p < 0.001 vs. no LVH, r = 0.184; p = 0.298, Figure 3 C,F).
