Combination of Quantitative Capnometry N-Terminal Pro-brain Natriuretic Peptide and Clinical Assessment in Differentiating Acute Heart Failure from Pulmonary Disease as Cause of Acute Dyspnea in Pre-hospital Emergency Setting: Study of Diagnostic Accuracy

摘要

AimTo determine the diagnostic accuracy of the combination of quantitative capnometry (QC), N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP), and clinical assessment in differentiating heart failure (HF)-related acute dyspnea from pulmonary-related acute dyspnea in a pre-hospital setting.
