What is the role and scope of NP monitoring?
The committee discussed the heterogeneous nature of the NP-guided treatment protocols used in the included studies. It was agreed that NP monitoring should be used to help optimise treatment for people with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction, and that it should be tailored to the individual patient's needs, taking into account their age, comorbidities, and general health. NP monitoring should only be used in a specialist care setting, and should be considered on a case by case basis when considering its use.
