Recent guidelines propose N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (blood test for NT-proBNP protein marker) for recognition of asymptomatic left ventricular (LV) dysfunction (Stage B Heart Failure, SBHF) in type 2 diabetes (T2DM) patients.

Key Points: 
  • Recent guidelines propose N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (blood test for NT-proBNP protein marker) for recognition of asymptomatic left ventricular (LV) dysfunction (Stage B Heart Failure, SBHF) in type 2 diabetes (T2DM) patients.
