Heart failure (HF) is a complex clinical syndrome affecting 6.2 million people in the United States [1]. The diagnosis of heart failure is challenging as patients usually present non-specific symptoms, which are often shared by other diseases. Both B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) and the N-terminal pro BNP (NT-proBNP) are widely used as biomarkers to diagnose […]
