title = "Impact of hemoglobin on plasma pro-B-type natriuretic peptide concentrations in the general population",
abstract = "Age, sex, and renal function contribute to variations in plasma concentrations of B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) and its molecular precursor (proBNP). Recent studies indicate that anemia may also affect proBNP concentrations in patients with heart failure or stroke. However, the impact of hemoglobin status on proBNP concentrations has not been established in the general population.",
