17) Similarly, the "BATTLESCARRED" trial compared the usual care of CHF patients with NT-proBNP-guided care and found there were fewer outpatient diagnostic tests, including echocardiography, radionuclide ventriculography, and computed tomography scan in the NT-proBNP group.
On the ventriculography the left ventricular sizes were normal, akinesis at the anterior and apical portion of the left ventricle, mild mitral regurgitation were seen.
