Background: N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) is a cardiac biomarker with diagnostic and prognostic utility in patients with heart failure (HF). Whether NT-proBNP can be used to triage inpatient transthoracic echocardiogram (TTE) requirements, and whether this impacts hospital length of stay (LOS), is not clear.
Methods: Clinical and biochemical data were prospectively recorded on all inpatients at Wollongong Hospital, NSW, Australia, who had a TTE ordered for suspected HF over a 6-month period.
