Diversity of molecular forms of plasma brain natriuretic peptide in heart failure—different proBNP-108 to BNP-32 ratios in atrial and ventricular overload

Abstract

ObjectiveRecent studies have shown that plasma levels of brain natriuretic peptide (BNP)-32 and proBNP-108 are increased in heart failure (HF) and that the BNP-32 assay kit in current clinical use...
