Abstract
PRO-BNP and NT PRO-BNP are such biomarkers which have been extensively studied for their role in differentiating the cause of dyspnea in a ER. As much as the troponins have been touted as the diagnostic milestone for ACS, the natriuretic peptides are being proposed for heart failure. Based on the robust data available the recent guidelines of ACS have incorporated PRO-BNP & NT PRO-BNP in their heart failure management protocol too.
