Abstract
Although there are significant pre-analytical and analytical differences between the Triage BNP and Elecsys NT-proBNP and other BNP methods, they do not translate to clinically significant differences in their diagnostic and prognostic application in the assessment of systolic heart failure and risk stratification of patients with acute coronary syndrome. However, there appears to be some evidence that suggests that NT-proBNP may have an advantage in the detection of patients with mild or asymptomatic heart disease.
