Abstract

BACKGROUND: Limited access to echocardiography can delay the diagnosis of suspected heart failure (HF), which in turn postpones the initiation of optimal guideline-directed medical therapy. Although natriuretic peptides like B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) are valuable biomarkers for diagnosing and managing HF, the utility of combining BNP with other blood-based biomarkers to predict subtypes of new-onset HF remains underexplored.
