The BNP test is only one way to monitor heart failure. Another blood test, called ANP, measures atrial natriuretic peptide, which is a hormone-like BNP. The larger, more powerful chambers in the lower portion of your heart produce...
Tailoring mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist therapy in heart failure patients: are we moving towards a personalized approach? The aim of personalized medicine is to offer a tailored approach to each patient in order to provide the most effective therapy, while reducing risks and s... JP Ferreira...

process of finding the underlying cause of symptoms. BNP and NT-proBNP tests are often used to determine if a patient has heart failure. Heart failure is a condition in which the heart is not pumping blood properly to the rest of the body, but it does not mean that the heart has ...
heart failurehome monitoringObjectives This study was a multicenter, single-arm, double-blinded observational prospective clinical trial designed to monitor daily concentrations of B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) and to determine how these concentrations correlate with acute clinical heart failure ...
BNP and NT pro-BNP testing provided high test accuracy for the detection of heart failure, being superior to clinical judgment, and provide strong prognostic information for an unfavorable outcome (death, cardiovascular death, readmission, or cardiac events) in patients with heart failure or ...

Both pieces are frequently utilized to aid in detecting heart failure, make predictions about results, and monitor the impact of treatment. The heart produces peptides known as natriuretic peptides. N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide and Brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) are the two primary ...
Frequent hospitalizations are common among heart failure patients, contributing to a significant portion of healthcare costs. By using BNP levels to monitor heart failure, hospitalization can predict worsening symptoms before they require hospitalization. This proactive approach can help reduce...
