By default, metrics are evaluated at the level of the attributes on the report; this is called the report level. For example, a revenue metric is set to the report level by default. When this metric is placed on a report containing Region, the metric calculates regional revenue.one is not an option if the metric level is the report level. The remaining options are only used for nonaggregatable metrics. A nonaggregatable metric, such as an inventory metric, is one that should not be aggregated across an attribute. To use the first value of the lookup table, select Beginning lookup.
Remember, BNP is not simply released because of heart failure. It is released in response to ventricular stretching as stated. So, any number of conditions that can elevate the ventricular filling pressure, can potentially cause an elevation of the BNP. Generally, diabetes, mild renal insufficiency, or even COPD will not cause an elevation of the BNP. Right sided failure and pulmonary embolism can cause mild BNP elevation, so something to consider. However, 727 is rather significant. Blood pressure is not always a good indicator of ventricular filling pressure.
