NT-proBNP cutpoints validated for diagnosing and ruling out heart failure in the ED
Age-stratified cutpoints for N-terminal pro–B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) helped diagnose acute heart failure, and 300 pg/mL had good sensitivity and negative predictive value as a rule-out cutpoint, the study found.
