Low prevalence of B-type natriuretic peptide levels <100 pg/mL in patients with heart failure at hospital discharge

Background In patients with acute heart failure (HF) presenting at the emergency department, a B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) level 100 pg/mL. Conclusions In clinically stable patients with a recent admission for decompensated HF, only 10% had BNP levels 100 pg/mL
