No references found | The first study in Hull, UK, found that repeatedly measuring the well established biomarker N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP), once treatment has been optimised, provides stronger prognostic information than either the baseline value, the change in NT-proBNP, or other conventional methods of assessment. SHIONOSPOT BNP, which is based on fluorescent immunochromatographic assay, can measure the levels of B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) in the blood. Since 2000, doctors have used elevated blood concentrations of a protein called B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) to detect incipient heart failure in people with chest pain or other inconclusive symptoms. |
