Pregnancy-specific Reference Intervals for BNP and NT-pro BNP—Changes in Natriuretic Peptides Related to Pregnancy
Abstract
Context Cardiac disease is the leading cause of maternal mortality in the UK, so accurate cardiovascular diagnoses in pregnancy are essential. BNP (B-type natriuretic peptide) and NT-pro BNP (N-terminal-pro BNP) are useful clinical tools for investigating suspected peripartum cardiomyopathy but, as the pregnancy-specific reference intervals are undefined, it is uncertain how they should be interpreted in pregnant women. Objectives To define...
