Abstract: BACKGROUND Secretion of cardioprotective B-type natriuretic peptide 1-32 (BNP1-32) is increased proportionately with cardiac dysfunction, but its measurement in plasma is difficult. Therefore, less specific BNP and amino-terminal proBNP (NT-proBNP) assays that detect the precursor… read more here.
