Abstract

In HF, Pacific and Māori people had significantly lower median plasma concentrations of NT-proBNP than NZ Europeans. This difference remained after adjusting for clinical and demographic factors in patients with Pacific ethnicity. Pacific peoples also had a significantly lower rate of increase of NT-proBNP with age compared with NZ Europeans and Māori.
