In vitro diagnostic test kit for the quantitative measurement of NT-proBNP concentration in canine serum Specification Differentiation is important for diagnostics and therapy In dogs with dyspnea requiring emergency care Treatment of cardiac and respiratory cases is very different NT-proBNP provides insights to distinguish cardiac from non-cardiac respiratory distress What NT-proBNP levels tell us In dogs, NT-proBNP is correlated with heart size and systolic function, suggesting that the concentrations can be used to detect dogs with early disease. Distinguishes cardiac from respiratory disease • In dogs with dyspnea requiring emergency care • Differentiates cardiac and respiratory causes of respiratory signs Staging of Myxomatous Mitral Valve Degeneration (MMVD) • Differentiates dogs with MMVD with and without congestive heart failure • Ongoing monitoring in dogs with MMVD Detects Dilated Cardiomyopathy (DCM) in Large Breeds Highly sensitive and spécifie for detecting occult DCM Predicts survival in Dobermans at high risk NT-proBNP should be interpreted with other diagnostic techniques, such as echocardiography, thoracic radiography, history and clinical signs to improve the accuracy of diagnosis.
