Abstract
Plasma amino-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) is a guideline-mandated biomarker in heart failure (HF). Used as an inclusion criterion for therapeutic trials, NT-proBNP enriches trial populations and is a valid surrogate endpoint. Its diagnostic performance is best validated in acute decompensated HF (ADHF). NT-proBNP offers prognostic information independent of standard clinical predictors and refines risk stratification. With the advent of combined angiotensin 2 type 1 receptor blockade and neprilysin inhibition (ARNI) NT-proBNP retains its relationship to cardiac status and is the marker of choice in assessment of possible ADHF and in serial monitoring of HF patients receiving ARNI treatment.Entities:
