Описание к видео Natriuretic peptide testing and heart failure diagnosis

Read the research: https://doi.org/10.3399/BJGP.2022.0278
In this 1-minute video, Dr Clare J Taylor explains:
– At lower NP threshold, 95% with heart failure will test positive
– At higher threshold this is 80%, so 1 in 5 cases will be missed initially
– If someone is breathless, exhausted, or has ankle swelling...
– ... and NP test is close to threshold, GPs might consider referral
– Or observe patient over a few months to see if decision has changed
