Abstract
Heart failure (HF) remains a significant global health challenge, requiring cost-effective strategies to optimize patient outcomes and resource allocation. Natriuretic peptide (NP) testing has demonstrated substantial clinical and economic value in HF diagnosis, risk stratification, and management. This article examines the international evidence supporting NP testing, highlighting its role in reducing hospitalizations, optimizing medication use, and lowering healthcare expenditures. Addressing disparities in access and reimbursement policies can further enhance its adoption and impact across healthcare systems.
期刊介绍:
Peptides is an international journal presenting original contributions on the biochemistry, physiology and pharmacology of biological active peptides, as well as their functions that relate to gastroenterology, endocrinology, and behavioral effects.
Peptides emphasizes all aspects of high profile peptide research in mammals and non-mammalian vertebrates. Special consideration can be given to plants and invertebrates. Submission of articles with clinical relevance is particularly encouraged.
