Authors' objectives: This health technology assessment evaluates the diagnostic accuracy, clinical impact, and cost-effectiveness of B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) and N-terminal proBNP (NT-proBNP) for adults with suspected heart failure. It also evaluates the budget impact of publicly funding BNP and NT-proBNP tests and the experiences, preferences, and values of people with suspected heart failure.
