Authors' recommendations:
No studies were identified that specifically assessed the prognostic accuracy of BNP for triage of HF patients when used in the emergency department or in-hospital BNP measurement for HF before hospital discharge.
There is moderate quality evidence that BNP testing to diagnose HF in patients presenting to the emergency department with acute dyspnea does not significantly reduce mortality or rehospitalization.
