Abstract:
Various cardiovascular diseases may lead to heart failure (HF), however, traditional indexes are affected by too many subjective factors so they cannot reflect HF severity objectively. Half-life period of N terminal pro Btype natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) is longer than brain natriuretic peptide (BNP), which may benefit HF detection. The present article made a review on research progress for NT-proBNP application in HF.
