NT‐proBNP and BNP Testing in Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension: Point‐of‐Care and Remote Monitoring

Respirology, EarlyView.
Brain natriuretic peptides aid risk assessment in pulmonary arterial hypertension. Point‐of‐care tests for BNP and NT‐proBNP delivered fast, reliable results. Posted samples showed repeatable NT‐proBNP levels, suggesting potential for remote monitoring. ABSTRACT Background and Objectives Brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) and N‐terminal prohormone of BNP (
