The ultimate resource for accurate diagnosis of heart failure.
Natriuretic peptides have been intensely studied and are widely used biomarkers in the diagnosis and management of heart failure. Levels are elevated in heart failure patients and the degree of elevation correlates very well with the severity of the syndrome. Natriuretic peptide assays may rapidly identify patients with heart failure, expedite care, and exclude patients with a very low probability of having heart failure, thereby reducing the operational and economic burden on a healthcare system.
What’s covered in the handbook:
- The growing impact of heart failure on our health system
- How natriuretic peptides can be measured to aid in the diagnosis of heart failure
- The clinical and economic benefits of using natriuretic peptide testing
- The clinical advantages of using Siemens Healthineers natriuretic peptide assays
