Siemens Healthineers offers new way to detect a broken heart: NT proBNPII assay now part of Atellica cardiac testing menu
June 28, 2024
Siemens Healthineers has added the NT‑proBNPII (PBNPII) assay to its comprehensive cardiac menu on the Atellica Solution to help diagnose heart failure.
N-terminal proBNP (NT-proBNP) and Brain or B-type natriuretic peptides (BNP) are cardiac markers of stress that are released in response to increased ventricular filling pressure. The PBNPII assay from Siemens Healthineers supports timely patient care with a 10-minute time-to-first-result. Siemens Healthineers now offers both natriuretic peptide tests to support choice and flexibility, as both assays can run on either the company’s Atellica IM or Atellica CI analyzer.
