Development of a Rapid Diagnostic Kit for Congestive Heart Failure Using Recombinant NT-proBNP Antigen

Abstract: Background and Objectives: In patients with congestive heart failure, brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) and N-terminal prohormone of brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) are released due to excessive heart muscle expansion; they can be used for the early detection, progress monitoring, and treatment of congestive heart failure. Recently, considerable efforts have been made to develop an NT-proBNP-based biomarker for detecting heart failure. This study attempts to develop a rapid and accurate congestive heart fa… Show more

“…One potential current application of biohumoral testing for sudden cardiac death is the development of rapid test kits [ 168 ], which, due to their ease of use, would increase accessibility of screening in the absence of other methods available in some cases.…”

“…The kit demonstrated excellent reactivity, showing high specificity and its potential to assess HF risk early. [ 11 ] Galectin-3 was also used in another study that showed higher sensitivity (94.3%), but lower specificity (65.1%) compared with BNP (77.1%) in diagnosing HF in patients with preserved ejection fraction. Additionally, the areas under the receiver operating characteristic curve for galectin-3 and BNP were 0.891 and 0.896, respectively.…”

“…Typically, small amounts of BNP are found in the blood, and high levels are correlated to the insufficient capability of the heart in pumping blood. Due to the significance of BNP, a team of authors has created a quick colorimetric diagnostic kit based on an interaction between NT-ProBNP and a specific antigen [49].…”
