Heart Failure

Improving heart failure outcomes together at every step

As the leader in in vitro diagnostics (IVD), we discover and develop novel, high-quality, accurate assays for heart failure diagnostics, through:

  • Continuous innovation: Roche pioneered N-terminal pro-BNP (NT-proBNP) and has continued to invest in exploring the clinical utility of this biomarker, resulting in claim extensions that make it the NT-proBNP assay with the highest number of intended uses vs. main IVD providers1-9

  • Connecting solutions: At Roche, we are fully committed to supporting the optimal implementation of the biomarkers you need, with innovative solutions to assist healthcare professionals (HCPs) in improving outcomes

  • Co-creating evidence: We are proud to offer the most extensively validated NT-proBNP assay, giving you a cost-effective way to provide information to assist in clinical decision-making and treatment modification10-12
