Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Patients with chronic heart failure and BNP values of less than or equal to 400 pg/mL may have pulmonary causes of dyspnea without exacerbation of their CHF. Until additional studies establish the precise cutoff values for different conditions, the threshold of 100 pg/mL is recommended, with the exceptions noted above.
Detailed explanation-2: -Conclusion: When measured early after the onset of acute pulmonary edema, a BNP level of <250 pg/mL supports the diagnosis of acute lung injury.
Detailed explanation-3: -Difficulty breathing when exerting yourself or lying down. Shortness of breath that wakes you from sleep. Swelling in your legs. Tiredness. Weight increase of more than two pounds a day. 30-Apr-2022
