What is NT-proBNP?

NT-proBNP has been used in HF for over 15 years, and is considered the gold standard for testing in HF disease management.¹³

NT-proBNP also has an emerging and impactful use in T2DM patients, who are at an increased risk of CVD complications.^14-17

Natriuretic peptides, including NT-proBNP, are produced within cardiomyocytes in response to stress, and are released after clinical triggers.¹²

Use as an initial diagnostic test

In association with clinical evaluation,* NT-proBNP can support decision-making in HF diagnosis in acute and non-acute Settings.

Exclude HF and avoid unnecessary echocardiography^6-8
Identify patients with high probability of having HF and need further investigation²
In primary care, identify patients who need referral to the specialist^6-8

Interpretation of NT-proBNP results in patients presenting

in non-acute setting^1-5

Roche NT-proBNP

<125pg/mL HF unlikely,

consider other diagnoses

Roche NT-proBNP

>125pg/mL

HF likely,
perform

echocardiography to
confirm the diagnosis
of HF

Interpretation of NT-proBNP results in patients presenting

in non-acute setting^9-13

Roche NT-proBNP

<125pg/mL HF unlikely,

consider other diagnoses

Roche NT-proBNP

>125pg/mL

HF likely,
perform

echocardiography to
confirm the diagnosis
of HF

Use as out patient monitoring

NT-proBNP can be used to monitor disease progression or patient improvement in out-patient setting

Monitoring NT-proBNP levels helps to manage HF well over the long term, regardless of symptoms or medication being taken, in particular angiotensin receptor-neprilysininhibitors (ARNis)⁹.
