Utility of B-Natriuretic Peptide in Detecting Diastolic Dysfunction

Abstract

A rapid assay for BNP can reliably detect the presence of diastolic abnormalities on echocardiography. In patients with normal systolic function, elevated BNP levels and diastolic filling abnormalities might help to reinforce the diagnosis diastolic dysfunction.
