“…The intensity of sympatomimetic therapy after ECC was equal in the identified patient groups and there were either no differences (p&gt;0.05) in the frequency of intra-aortic balloon counterpulsation (18.2 and 10.0%), the length of mechanical ventilation (15±1.5 and 18.7±2.3 hours) and intensive care unit stay (1.8±0.5 and 2.0±0.7 days) in survivors, and inpatient mortality (23.7 and 20.0%) that proved to be substantially higher than the EuroSCORE-predicted one. Regression analysis showed that in the entire group of operated patients, the level of NT-proBNP turned out to be a more significant predictor of inpatient mortality (p=0.012) than EuroSCORE-predicted one (p = 0.04). …”
