Due to the sufficiently high sensitivity, specificity, ease of use, and speed of obtaining results, the rapid test for semi-quantitative measuring NT-proBNP is promising for outpatient screening bedside diagnosis of CHF and in the emergency room to confirm or exclude CHF. When determining the dynamics of NT-proBNP during the treatment of CHF, the use of the semi-quantitative rapid test with visual assessment of the results may produce an error compared to the quantitative assessment, which will probably not allow tracking the effect of therapy or predicting exacerbation of the disease.
