Estimation of Serum Levels of NTProBNP in Heart Failure Patients Treated in BGS MCH Hospital– A Facility Based Cross S0ectional Study

Abstract

Background
Heart failure is a prevalent medical state with a grim prognosis. Echocardiography is the gold 
standard for diagnosis; nevertheless, it is not always accessible, particularly in emergency 
situations. NT-pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NTproBNP) is an innovative biomarker for 
diagnosing heart failure & is utilised in standard testing procedures. The aim of present study is 
to estimate the serum NT proBNP levels in patients with heart failure & correlate them with 
different stages/severity of left ventricular dysfunction.
