- •
Obesity might be the only factor reducing plasma BNP levels.
- •
Pre-BMI was positively correlated with the log pre-BNP.
- •
The pre-BMI probably entailed an element of fluid accumulation.
- •
High plasma BNP levels in obese with heart failure might not reflect true obesity.
- •
Low plasma BNP levels are of concern in heart failure in true obesity.
