The utility of BNP in clinical practice
Andrew Sharp, Jamil Mayet

Brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) is a cardiac neurohormone of increasing interest over recent years, with research applications expanding at a rapid rate and new data published on a monthly basis. Initially developed as a diagnostic aid for those with acute shortness of breath, clinical applications are now increasing, and this article reviews these clinical applications of BNP and the evidence for effectiveness of the synthetic BNP analogue nesiritide.
