Heart failure is a clinical diagnosis with specific signs. If unsure, N-terminal pro b-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) levels can help rule it out
Differences between brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) and NT-proBNP, and how to apply each of them to your heart failure patients
In patients with chronic kidney disease, NT-proBNP levels should be within context of renal dysfunction
Serial measurements of NT-proBNP are associated with prognosis, guidance and response to heart failure treatment


Only one NT-proBNP test per patient per year is reimbursed; additional tests must be self-funded

 

Host: Dr David Lim | Total Time: 39 mins

Experts:Prof Andrew Sindone, Cardiologist
