Note: NT-ProBNP: N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide; ALT: alanine aminotransferase; AST: aspartate aminotransferase; LVEF: left ventricular ejection fraction; PASP: pulmonary artery systolic pressure: LVDd: left ventricular end-diastolic dimension: MCS: mechanical circulatory support. This study included intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). kPa. |
