Product Introduction
This product is used for the auxiliary diagnosis of heart failure. The degree of BNP increase is directly proportional to ventricular tension and pressure. BNP is a sensitive and specific indicator of cardiac dysfunction. When the volume of the ventricle increases and the pressure of the ventricle increases, the concentration of BNP increases significantly. It is known as a potential "white blood cell count" in congestive heart failure.
During heart failure, the heart makes two proteins, called B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) and N-terminal-pro-BNP (NT-proBNP). Levels of both in the blood go up when heart failure gets worse and go down when it gets better.
Advantages
√ Reagents are stored and transported at room temperature, no cold chain is required, reducing operating risks
√ Easy to operate and quick response
Clinical significance
√ When BNP<100pg/mL, it means that heart failure is very unlikely to exist (2%), and treatment is recommended to consider acute coronary syndrome, pneumonia, etc
√ When BNP is 100-500pg/mL, it means that clinical symptoms of heart failure (90%) or a history of heart failure are suspected. Treatment should also consider pulmonary embolism, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and the compensatory period of heart failure
√ When BNP>500pg/mL, it means that heart failure is very likely to exist (95%)
Application
ICU, Respiratory Medicine, Emergency Department, Cardiology, Emergency Car
