Abstract
B-natriuretic peptide (BNP) and aminoterminal proBNP (NT-proBNP) are clinically useful for the diagnosis of decompensated heart failure and for prognosis in heart failure and acute coronary syndromes. Clinical use of these biomarkers in critically ill patients being treated in intensive care is not well established.
