Open Access Abstract Introduction Amino-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide NT-proBNP is useful in evaluating heart failure but its role in evaluating patients with shock in the intensive care unit ICU is not clear. Method Forty-nine consecutive patients in four different ICUs with shock of various types and with an indication for pulmonary artery catheter placement were evaluated. Analyses for NT-proBNP were performed on blood obtained at the time of catheter placement and results were correlated with pulmonary artery catheter findings. Logistic regression identified independent predictors of mortality. .
