Abstract Diagnosing heart failure is often difficult due to the non-specific nature of symptoms, which can be caused by a range of medical conditions. Natriuretic peptides (NPs) have been recognized as important biomarkers for diagnosing heart failure. Use of this acronym would enable the early diagnosis of heart failure.

Eventually, this causes the heart to weaken and function poorly, which may lead to heart failure and increased risk for sudden cardiac death. 5 Verbelen T, Roussel JC, Cathenis K, et al.,
