thanks to the correspondents to my BNP enquiry
please find attached a resumee if of interest
I will be interested to see if the recent troponin argument is repeated for
BNP (perhaps with the same contributor/s), since I can't for the life of me
see why BNP should be a POC test until the time we have rolled out really
useful 'immediate-management-changing' tests to the bedside.
Almost all the preliminary work seems to have been done across the pond and
almost all of that using the bedside device.
Beware all those putting toes in the water - it's hot !
