Abstract

Background: Dyspnea is common in emergency departments, often linked to cardiac or pulmonary causes, with congestive heart failure (CHF) being a major contributor. N-Terminal ProB-Type Natriuretic Peptide (NT-proBNP) has limited diagnostic performance in distinguishing between cardiac and non-cardiac causes of dyspnea. Thus, this study aimed to explore the differential diagnosis of acute onset dyspnea and evaluate NT-pro BNP's role in identifying these causes.
