Heart failure is a serious condition that can be difficult to diagnose quickly when patients present to hospital with symptoms such as breathlessness. Delays in diagnosis may delay treatment and adversely affect patient outcomes. N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) is a blood biomarker recommended in national and international guidelines to support the diagnosis of heart failure. Conventional laboratory testing can take several hours before results are available. This study will evaluate the use of point-of-care NT-proBNP testing, which provides results at the bedside within approximately 12 minutes, in patients presenting…
