Abstract	Introduction: The diagnosis of cardiogenic pleural effusion (PE) is often difficult to make. The objective of our study was to evaluate the diagnostic usefulness of N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NTproBNP) levels in PE patients with heart failure, in pleural fluid (PF) and blood (B), and to compare the cholesterol in pleural fluid (CHOL PF) and in serum (CHOL S) with the Light criteria. Patients and methods: All the biomarkers were evaluated in 398 PF (26.9% transudates). The area under the curve (AUC) quantified the overall diagnostic precision. The diagnostic precision of the different parameters was also assessed using the ROC curves.
