In adults with diabetes at risk for heart failure, an NT-proBNP-based screening strategy increased HF diagnostic yield at 6 months versus usual care.
- Why it matters: Usual care may miss early or subclinical heart failure in people with diabetes who are at elevated risk.
- What they did: The study compared an NT-proBNP screening approach against usual care and assessed diagnostic yield for heart failure at 6 months.
- The result: The NT-proBNP strategy produced a higher diagnostic yield at 6 months, supporting its use to identify heart failure earlier in this at-risk diabetic adult population.
