Answers
1
HF diagnosis includes clinical evaluation, NP testing, and must be confirmed by imaging
False
True
2
Rule-out cut-offs for NT-proBNP in the ESC Guidelines are set-up low in order to have high NPV
False
True
3
Because ARNi blocks the breakdown of BNP
BNP values will remain unchanged
BNP values will fall
BNP values will rise
4
NT-proBNP is more stable in vitro than BNP
True
False
5
On label claims for NT-proBNP include….
Prognosis and monitoring
Diagnosis, prognosis, and monitoring
Screening, diagnosis, monitoring, guided therapy
Screening, diagnosis, prognosis, and monitoring
6
NT-proBNP has good prognostic value
At all stages of HF
At early stage HF
At Late stage HF
7
ST2, Gal-3, Copeptin, and Adrenomedullin are in the 2016 ESC HF Guidelines as….

High to high results
12

Always, because it replaces the need for echo in diagnosis
13
ESC Guidelines recommend NP testing upon presentation and prior to switching from ACEi to ARNi
False
True
14
NT-proBNP is a good prognostic HF marker because it can indicate
Risk of deterioration and death
Severity of HF
Risk of developing HF
All of the above
15
NT-proBNP circulates in higher concentrations so it is more sensitive for detecting HF earlier
True
False
