BNP Levels in the Hospitalized Patient • Number of admissions for HF in the US = 1 million per year. Annual cost = $56 billion. • Hospitalization accounts for 70-75% of direct cost of patient care. • Readmission after hospitalization for heart failure = 44% within 6 months. • For CVD = 6 million. Annual cost = $351 billion • In the US, about 1 million people die of CVD each year, about 40% of all deaths. • By 2020 CVD will cause 25 million deaths per year, worldwide.
BNP in the Hospitalized Patient • Diagnosis: HF vs. other causes of dyspnea. Systolic vs. Diastolic. • Prognosis: • Guide to therapy:

ENTIRE-TIMI 23 - a multi-national trial that enrolled patients from 43 centers (tPA vs. tPA + abciximab vs. heparin/enoxaparin). • BNP measured in baseline samples from 438 patients presenting within 6 hours of STEMI. • Patients were followed for clinical outcomes, including death,recurrent myocardial infarction, and congestive heart failure through 30 days after enrollment.

How Often should BNP be Measured in the Hospital? BNP has a plasma half life of 20 minutes. Strategies: 1. Admission, discharge, or any major change. 2. 12-24 hours after any change in treatment. 3. If very sick patient in ICU without hemodynamic monitoring, then every 4-6 hours.
Causes of a BNP that does not Fall During Hospitalization • May be the patients “dry” BNP level. Usually NYHA IV with poor prognosis. • Another superimposed condition, e.g. pulmonary embolus. • Azotemia may down-regulate BNP clearance receptors • Diuresis may mobilize third space fluid, rather than lowering wedge pressure
BNP Results to Evaluate And Treat Heart Failure (BREATH) • Study Design • 1222 patients, hospitalized, EF<35%, BNP>400 pg/mL • Randomized to Control and BNP Guided • Outpatient follow-up period up to 12 months • Event driven study – 25% event rate in Control group • Primary End-Points: All cause mortality, rehospitalization or ER i.v. therapy for worsening heart failure.
Summary • HF is a major and increasing public health problem. • BNP has greatest diagnostic value if <100 pg/ml or >400 pg/ml. • Diastolic HF is common, has a considerable mortality and is underdiagnosed; BNP can help. • BNP changes with PCWP and is predictive of morbidity and mortality in both HF and MI. • Baseline BNP in the ED improves management and outcome. • No evidence yet that BNP guidance during hospitalization improves outcome.
