  • Title: Evolution of amino-terminal pro-B type natriuretic peptide testing in heart failure.
    Author: Januzzi JL, Bayes-Genis A.
    Journal: Drug News Perspect; 2009 Jun; 22(5):267-73. PubMed ID: 19609464.
    Abstract:
    The use of natriuretic peptide testing has expanded considerably over the recent years. Thanks to clinical trials that have demonstrated significant benefits associated with testing for B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) and its amino-terminal pro-peptide (NTproBNP), testing for these peptides is now ubiquitous in modern medicine. This review will focus on the use of NTproBNP in clinical medicine, with a discussion of the biologic significance of NT-proBNP, its proven present uses and potential future applications.
