Diagnostic Criteria of Heart Failure BNP and NT-proBNP

This RUclips video will investigate the pathophysiology and current guidelines for diagnosis and management of heart failure. We will explore the purpose and use of biomarkers BNP and NT-proBNP in the diagnosis of heart failure in cardiovascular disease patients. An expert in this field-cardiologist Dr. Gregory Curnew- discusses his personal insight on the diagnosis of heart failure, including the implementation of BNP and NT-proBNP biomarkers in his practice. With this video, we aim to increase awareness of advancements in diagnostic criteria of heart failure.
This video was created by McMaster University students Jasleen Gill, Leili Hadayeghi, and Sunny Singh in collaboration with the Demystifying Research McMaster Program.
