Summary

Cardiac biomarkers have dramatically impacted the way HF patients are evaluated and managed. In fact, the role of biomarkers has developed to better differentiate HF against other diseases and, to timely initiate and influence more accurate diagnosis (rule out) and treatments, to predict the onset of future HF, to risk-stratify affected patients, and to serve as a tool to guide intensity of therapy. NT-proBNP has become validated biomarkers with highest guideline recommendation (class I) and independent predictors for re-hospitalization and mortality in HF patients. However, many Indonesian cardiologists do not use of those biomarkers, mostly due to limited available cardiac biomarkers for the cost effective heart failure management. We evaluate 2 alternative treatments which one that more cost-effective between biomarker's guided therapy and without biomarker.

DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

NT-Pro BNP

. AHF patients who met inclusion and exclusion criteria were randomly assigned to 2 groups, NT-pro BNP group and control group. In the NT-pro BNP group, serial NT-pro BNP levels at admission and pre-discharge was measured, the latter with the target of decrease ≥ 30% NT-pro BNP level. Randomised patients were followed during treatment up to 90 days post-discharge to assess short-term outcomes and costs.
