Depletion of proBNP1-108 in patients with heart failure prevents cross-reactivity with natriuretic peptides.

BACKGROUND: After synthesis by cardiomyocytes, precursor proBNP1-108 is cleaved into NT-proBNP and BNP. Recently, cross-reactivity between these assays was discussed. The aim of this study was to characterize the cross-reactivities, through a new biochemical innovative approach consisting in the tot...
