B-type natriuretic peptide is released from the ventricles of the heart in response to hemodynamic stress, and blood levels of B-type natriuretic peptide may be useful in the diagnosis of heart failure. In this study, a rapid, bedside immunoassay for B-type natriuretic peptide was used to make or exclude the diagnosis of heart failure in patients w...
