Evolution of B-type natriuretic peptide and N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide during acute decompensated heart failure in a chronic heart failure patient with reduced ejection fraction treated with Sacubitril/Valsartan: a case report

Background B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) and the N-terminal proBNP (NT-proBNP) exhibit different evolution in chronic heart failure patients with reduced ejection fraction treated with Sacubitril/Valsartan; BNP increasing or remaining stable, while NT-proBNP decreases. However, how this difference translates upon acute decompensation is unknown.
