1. Are B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) and N-terminal-pro-BNP useful in neonates?

This article discusses the evidence underpinning the potential benefits measuring of B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) and N-terminal-pro-BNP (NTpBNP), natriuretic peptides, in neonatol cardiac screening

Abstract:

B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) and N-terminal-pro-BNP (NTpBNP) have a major role in screening and diagnosis of cardiac disease and monitoring of the treatment response in children and adults.
