Characteristics of an Ideal Marker for HF
• Facilitates diagnosis (highly sensitive, specific)
• Reliable irrespective of age, race/ethnicity, or etiology of HF
• Provides independent prognostic information
• Changes in patient’s clinical condition correlates with changes in the biomarker
• Is readily reproducible across laboratories
• Is available at bedside or in the office to guide therapeutic decision making

Secretion
BNP: secreted from cardiomyocytes an active hormone providing compensatory response to the overload in
the ventricles released in order decrease fluid volume and reduce overload
NT-proBNP : secreted from cardiomyocytes at the same time as BNP Not a hormone, does not assist in decreasing fluid volume Inactive protein, requires adequate kidney function for clearance from
the bloodstream making it questionable for patients with coexisting renal insufficiency
![Page 20: Scottish Heart Failure Nurse Forum June 9, 2006. B-Type Natriuretic Peptide: Physiology, Pathophysiology and the Clinical Role Nancy L. Seymour RN, BSN,](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649e185503460f94b04506/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Clearance
BNP is cleared by:
1. Binding to natriuretic peptide receptors
2. Enzymatic degradation
NT-proBNP is cleared:
1. Through the kidneys and is treated as a waste product

BNP Consensus Guidelines
Silver MA et al. Congest Heart Fail. 2004;10(5 suppl 3):1–30.
Treatment Options for HF With BP >90:Diuretics plus nestiride, especially with CKD and pulmonary congestion; consider adding vasodilators if hypertensive; consider adding inotropes for poor perfusion
Treatment Options (cardiac): Consider acute coronarysyndromes
Treatment Options (noncardiac):Consider COPD; pulmonary embolism; asthma; pneumonia; sepsis
Treatment Options:Diuretics as required; consider nesiritide if pulmonary congestion, or for borderline hemodynamic instability, Creat >1.5 mg/dL, CrCl <60 mL/min, BUN >40 mg/dL
Treatment Options for HF With BP <90 or Shock:Diuretics, inotropes, vasodilators and/or nesiritide to follow

differentiate patients with dyspnea due to CHF from those with
dyspnea due to other causes in acute care settings
Mean BNP values reflect functional class in those with heart
failure
BNP has a high degree of sensitivity, specificity and accuracy
for the diagnosis of heart failure

Conclusions
BNP provides powerful risk stratification information across a spectrum of Acute Coronary Syndromes (ACS)
BNP of 80 pg/ml is an appropriate risk threshold among patients with ACS
Prognosis via neurohormonal activation (BNP) are distinct from those of myocyte necrosis (TnI)
BNP measurement should be considered after an ACS in order to identify patients at high and low risk for adverse outcomes. Treatments including increased surveillance, pharmacologic and interventional therapy should be adjusted accordingly

Bassan: BNP and AMI
631 patients studied with no ST segment elevation
BNP cutoff used was 100 pg/ml
BNP identified 22 more of the 72 patients with AMI at admission than CKMB/trop alone
For patients with a normal troponin at first draw, an elevated BNP conferred a 6 times higher risk of AMI

Study Conclusions
In patients with chest pain and no ST–segment elevation Admission BNP has significantly better sensitivity than admission CKMB or
TnI for AMI Similar NPV for all three markers
The combined use of admission BNP, CKMB and roponin-I are additive Sensitivity (87%, p= 0.0000) NPV (97%, p < 0.002) for A.M.I.
An elevated admission BNP is an independent predictor of AMI in this population
In chest pain patients without STEMI admission BNP seems to have an adjunctive role for the immediate identification and exclusion of A.M.I.

Conclusion
Predischarge BNP testing in patients admitted congestive heart failure (CHF) provides a strong, independent indicator of death or readmission and is more relevant than common clinical or echocardiographic parameters
Study results suggest that the use of predischarge BNP testing as part of routine discharge orders for this population may be beneficial

Triage® BNP Highlights
Triage BNP is indicated as an aid in the diagnosis of heart failure, severity of disease,
and for risk stratification for ACS. (Linear range 5-5000 pg/ml)
Diagnosis of patients presenting with non-specific symptoms associated with HF,
including SOB, edema, fatigue, nausea or suspected diastolic heart failure
No interference with typically prescribed heart related drugs
No statistically significant changes in BNP concentrations with hypertension, diabetes,
renal insufficiency & COPD
100 pg/ml has general specificity of 98% and negative predictive values greater than
98%1
Available for Outpatient setting, A & E, Chest Pain Unit, and In-patient arena.
