Abstract

Background. The association between N-terminal pro B-type natriuretic peptide (NTproBNP) and blood levels of small and large LDL- and HDL- particle (P) concentration may not be linear throughout the whole range of NT-proBNP values. Methods. Linear spline regression analysis between NT-proBNP and lipoprotein particle concentrations was performed cross-sectionally in 5597 individuals from the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis adjusted for age, race, sex, body mass index, % of energy from saturated fats, intentional exercise, statin use, antihypertensive medication use, diabetes, IL-6 and estimated glomerular filtration rate. Spline knots were selected as the point at which the linear slope changed in these associations. Results. NT-proBNP was positively associated with large LDL-P and HDL-P, but inversely associated with small LDL-P and HDL-P, but only for NT-proBNP values below the knot (range: 100-200 pg/mL).
