Role of natriuretic peptides in diagnosing heart failure
Conclusions Moderately strong scientific evidence shows that B-type natriuretic peptides (BNP or N-terminal proBNP) can be used, with good reliability, to rule out heart failure. However, evidence remains insufficient concerning the cost effectiveness of the method relative to other methods of diagn...
