Abstract

This study aimed to examine the influence of history of heart failure (HF) on circulating levels, diagnostic accuracy and prognostic value of B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) in patients presenting with all cause dyspnea at the emergency department.; BNP has been shown to be very helpful in diagnosis and prognosis of HF. Due to chronically elevated cardiac filling pressures, patients with a history of HF might have higher BNP levels and therefore diagnostic and prognostic properties of BNP may be affected.; We analyzed circulating levels, diagnostic accuracy and prognostic value of BNP in 388 patients without a previous history of HF and compared these to data to 64 patients with a history of HF included in the B-type Natriuretic Peptide for Acute Shortness of Breath Evaluation (BASEL) Study.; Baseline BNP levels were higher in patients with a history of HF (median 814 pg/ml [353-1300 pg/ml] vs. 216 pg/ml [45-801 pg/ml], p>0.001). Diagnostic accuracy of BNP to identify HF was comparable in patients with (AUC=0.804; 95% CI 0.628-0.980) and in patients without history of HF (AUC=0.883; 95% CI 0.848-0.919, p=0.389). Prognostic ability of BNP to predict one-year mortality was lower in overall patients with history of HF (AUC=0.458; 95%CI 0.294-0.622) compared to patients without history of HF (AUC=0.710; 95% CI 0.653-0.768, p>0.05).; In patients with history of HF, BNP levels retain diagnostic accuracy. Ability to predict one-year mortality was decreased in unselected patients, but not in patients with acute HF-induced dyspnea.
