Determination and stability of N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide in saliva samples for monitoring heart failure
Abstract Heart failure (HF) is the main cause of mortality worldwide, particularly in the elderly. N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) is the gold standard biomarker for HF diagnosis and therapy monitoring. It is determined in blood samples by the immunochemical methods generally ad...
