AimTo determine the primary diseases and prognoses of patients with highly elevated levels of B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP; >1000pg/ml), with or without heart failure. MethodsMedical records and echocardiograms of patients with BNP levels that fell within one of three predetermined categories (>1000pg/ml, 200-1000pg/ml and 1000pg/ml (n=103) or 200-1000pg/ml (n=100) had significantly worse 3-year survival than those with BNP levels 1000pg/ml group had heart failure. The main cause of death in patients with other causes of BNP levels >1000pg/ml (39/103) was community acquired pneumonia. ConclusionA BNP level >1000pg/ml has clinical importance in primary care medicine and hospital settings.
