Brain natriuretic peptide (BNP)

  • Biologically active metabolite of proBNP
  • <100 pg/mL CHF ruled out (Sn 90%, NPV 89%)
  • 100-500: Consider differential diagnosis and pre-test probability
  • > 500 Positive (CHF Sp 87%, PPV 90%)

NT-proBNP[1][2][3]

  • N-terminal proBNP
  • Biologically inert metabolite of proBNP
  • < 300 ng/mL, CHF unlikely
  • CHF likely in:
    • > 450 pg/mL in age < 50 years old
    • > 900 in 50-75 years old
    • > 1800 in > 75 years old

Differential Diagnosis (Elevated BNP)

May have false negatives with obesity and diastolic dysfunction

Utility

  • Obtaining BNP value may not add anything to patient centered outcomes[4]
  • May be used to gauge treatment response in acute decompensated CHF
