Natriuretic peptide guided heart failure management.
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 to guide heart failure therapy, including present and future directions for this exciting area.

This article highlights natriuretic peptide synthesis and release. Based on essential clinical trials the article gives medical insights into the use of natriuretic peptides in the emergency setting. The natriuretic peptides help confirm or rule out a diagnosis of heart failure and shorten the visit to the emergency room in addition to reducing the overall cost. However, when interpreting natri...

OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to assess whether management of heart failure (HF) guided by an individualized N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) target would lead to improved outcome compared with HF management guided by clinical assessment alone. BACKGROUND Natriuretic peptides may be attractive biomarkers to guide management of heart failure (HF) and help select...
