The use of NT-proBNP in hospital and ambulatory settings: translating the evidence to clinical practice

NT-proBNP has been proven to be a useful biomarker for prognostic evaluation of chronic heart failure patients, but it remains unclear how prognostic evidence can be translated into clinical practice to enhance heart failure management. The Asia Pacific Cardiac Webinar brings together global and regional experts to discuss the practical use of NT-proBNP as a

Transforming heart failure care at Huelva University Hospital, Spain

We recently began a study at our laboratory to determine the patient value of new diagnostic markers, in particular natriuretic peptides, to the management of heart failure. We selected heart failure because it has reached epidemic levels in our population, with many requiring multiple admissions to the hospital to manage their condition. Our research process

Value-based innovation in heart failure patient management

Value-based innovation in heart failure patient management

Full presentation by Dr. Antonio Leon delivered to healthcare and laboratory medicine leaders at the Roche Efficiency Days (RED) 2018: REDefining perspectives in Guangzhou, China. The presentation proposes an application case of value-based innovation in heart failure. In this case net value is maximized by increasing the benefits and reducing cost in heart failure patients. It shows how laboratory
