Abstract
This revised 2023 statement on blood brain (B-type) natriuretic peptide (BNP) and N-terminal prohormone of brain (B-type) natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) represents an expert consensus that aims to enhance efficient referral from general practitioners or non-cardiovascular specialists, providing a comprehensive, up-to-date perspective on BNP and NT-proBNP in the diagnosis and management of heart failure, with a focus on the following two major modifications: (1) Changes regarding cutoff values for BNP and NT-proBNP (criteria for heart failure diagnosis and referral criteria to cardiovascular specialists); and (2) Content related to heart failure management using BNP and NT-proBNP (BNP-guided therapy).
