Özet
Natriuretic peptides are widely used in all types of heart failure. Previously, we defined heart failure with non-reduced ejection fraction as patients with heart failure symptoms and/or signs and who have left ventricular ejection fraction > 40%.(1) For the diagnosis of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction, the presence of raised natriuretic peptides is one of the major components of the diagnosis, and raised natriuretic peptides make the diagnosis more likely in patients with heart failure with mildly reduced ejection fraction.(2) The majority of the existing studies have described the utility of natriuretic peptides in patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction, but there is not enough data on natriuretic peptides in heart failure patients with heart failure with non-reduced ejection fraction. Despite the insufficient information regarding the usage of natriuretic peptides in heart failure with non-reduced ejection fraction, it is obvious that there is an unmet need to guide how to use natriuretic peptides in these patients. The main goal of this article is to discuss the role of natriuretic peptides in diagnosis, prognosis, and guidance of heart failure treatment in patients with heart failure with non-reduced ejection fraction. The present review discusses the role of natriuretic peptides in heart failure with non-reduced ejection fraction focusing on: the characteristics of natriuretic peptides, primary prevention of heart failure, diagnosis of heart failure with non-reduced ejection fraction in different patient characteristics and comorbidities, prognosis of heart failure, monitoring of heart failure treatment and, how to use in worsening heart failure.
