B-type natriuretic peptide-guided treatment for heart failure
BACKGROUND Heart failure is a condition in which the heart does not pump enough blood to meet all the needs of the body. Symptoms of heart failure include breathlessness, fatigue and fluid retention. Outcomes for patients with heart failure are highly variable; however on average, these patients have a poor prognosis. Prognosis can be improved with early diagnosis and appropriate use of medical...
متن کاملNatriuretic Peptide-guided therapy for heart failure.
Chronic heart failure (HF) remains a major medical problem in the developed world, with rapidly rising prevalence, substantial morbidity, and high costs. The concept of titrating chronic HF therapies using physiologic markers, so called "biomarker guided therapy (BGT)", has become an area of substantial interest in HF given the underutilization of evidence-based medications and suboptimal outco...
متن کاملNatriuretic peptide guided heart failure management.
BNP or NT-proBNP testing has dramatically changed the management of acute heart failure patients by aiding in early recognition, prognostication and treatment. Furthermore, recent studies have shown that natriuretic peptide testing may guide the therapy of the stable chronic heart failure patients in out-patient setting. We will review the understanding of utilizing natriuretic peptide testing ...
متن کاملB-type natriuretic peptide serum levels in acute heart failure.
We read with great interest the article by Cowie et al.1 on clinical applications of the assessment of B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP). This is an important subject and the article also helps to clarify which areas of BNP research need more attention. The authors conclude that in new patients presenting to emergency services with dyspnoea, if the BNP level is <100 pg/mL, then heart failure is ...
متن کاملClinical Significance of B-type Natriuretic Peptide in Heart Failure
Biochemical tests to detect B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) or N-terminal pro-brain BNP (NT-proBNP) are useful diagnostic methods for patients with possible HF. These tests are valuable prognostic predictors for the entire spectrum of HF disease severity. Therefore, the measurements of BNP or NT-proBNP taken along with conventional clinical assessments may assist clinicians in deciding treatme...
