TLDR
Results suggest that circulating free testosterone, not estradiol, mediates gender differences in natriuretic peptides, and the association between higher BMI and lean body mass with natriurestic peptide may be mediated by testosterone.

A Critical Evaluation of Simple Methods for the Estimation of Free Testosterone in Serum

TL;DR: The FT value, obtained by calculation from T and SHBG as determined by immunoassay, appears to be a rapid, simple, and reliable index of bioavailable T, comparable to AFTC and suitable for clinical routine, except in pregnancy.

Association of bodyweight with total mortality and with cardiovascular events in coronary artery disease: a systematic review of cohort studies

TL;DR: The better outcomes for cardiovascular and total mortality seen in the overweight and mildly obese groups could not be explaining by adjustment for confounding factors and could be explained by the lack of discriminatory power of BMI to differentiate between body fat and lean mass.

The prognostic value of B-type natriuretic peptide in patients with acute coronary syndromes.

TL;DR: A single measurement of B-type natriuretic peptide, obtained in the first few days after the onset of ischemic symptoms, provides powerful information for use in risk stratification across the spectrum of acute coronary syndromes, and suggests that cardiac neurohormonal activation may be a unifying feature among patients at high risk for death after acute coronary syndrome.

Plasma brain natriuretic peptide concentration: impact of age and gender.

TL;DR: Investigation of the effects of age and gender on plasma brain natriuretic peptide concentration in a population-based study confirmed that discriminatory values for BNP for detection of reduced ejection fraction were higher in women and older persons and were different between the two assays.
