Kiess Alexandra , Kiess Wieland , Vogel Mandy

Background and Objectives: N-terminal-pro hormone Brain Natriuretic Peptide (NT-proBNP) and hs-Troponin T (hs-TnT) are commonly used cardiac biomarkers despite lacking a deeper understanding about influencing parameters especially in the healthy pediatric population. We previously found associations between NT-proBNP and hs-TnT and a child´s age, sex, pubertal status, Body Mass Index (BMI) and serum lipid levels. Subsequently, we explored associations wi...
