Prevalence, Clinical Phenotype, and Outcomes Associated with Normal B-Type Natriuretic Peptide Levels in Heart Failure with Preserved Ejection Fraction

B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) is used widely to exclude heart failure (HF) in patients with dyspnea. However, most studies of BNP have focused on diagnosing HF with reduced ejection fraction (EF). We hypothesized that a normal BNP (≤ 100 pg/ml) is relatively common in HF with preserved EF (HFpEF)...
