Exploring Heart Failure Prevalence and Dimensions: A Comprehensive NT-ProBNP Study in High-Risk Primary Care Patients
A significant proportion of high-risk individuals in primary care had undiagnosed HF, particularly Stage B (pre-HF) and early symptomatic Stage C HF. The predominance of HFpEF highlights the need for targeted management. NT-proBNP screening is a valuable tool for early identification and risk stratification, especially for detecting Stage B HF, where it serves as an effective standalone method in the absence of imaging.
