Usefulness of N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-ProBNP) as a marker for cardiotoxicity and comparison with echocardiography in paediatric carbon monoxide poisoning.

Echocardiography is an ideal tool and very sensitive, but its routine use is limited due to its non-availability. An increased level of NT-proBNP (>480pg/ml) may be useful as an ideal biomarker for early detection of carbon monoxide-induced myocardial injury sign and reduced left ventricular ejection fraction which is the most crucial point in making a decision on hyperbaric oxygen therapy.
