NT-proBNP was the best diagnostic marker with borderline significant differences to NTproANP ( p = 0.054) and BNP ( p = 0.048).

Direct comparison of the natriuretic peptides revealed that the overall diagnostic performance of NT-proBNP seemed to perform best in detecting any preclinical ventricular dysfunction (AUC 0.813), but this difference failed to reach significance ( p = 0.167 to NT-proANP, p = 0.086 to BNP).
