Overview

The initial laboratory tests in diastolic dysfunction or failure include complete blood count, urinalysis, serum electrolytes, blood urea nitrogen, serum creatinine, fasting blood glucose (glycohemoglobin), lipid profile, liver function tests, and thyroid-stimulating hormone. The measurement of BNP is done only when diagnosis is unclear.

Laboratory Findings

Plasma brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) or N-terminal pro b-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) can be used to diagnose heart failure when diagnosis is unclear. BNP levels are lower in diastolic dysfunction when compared with systolic dysfunction[1].

Diagnostic Criteria Using BNP

Suggested cutpoints for the diagnosis of diagnostic heart failure are BNP >100 pg/mL or NT-proBNP >300 pg/mL. In addition, BNP >100 pg/mL and NT-proBNP >300 pg/mL are independent predictors of adverse cardiovascular events in patients with heart failure with preserved left ventricular ejection fraction[2].

Initial Clinical Assessment Recommendation

Class I
" 1. Initial laboratory evaluation of patients presenting with heart failure should include complete blood count, urinalysis, serum electrolytes (including calcium and magnesium), blood urea nitrogen, serum creatinine, fasting blood glucose (glycohemoglobin), lipid profile, liver function tests, and thyroid-stimulating hormone. (Level of Evidence: C) "
Class III (No Benefit)
"1. Routine measurement of circulating levels of neurohormones (e.g., norepinephrine or endothelin) is not recommended for patients presenting with heart failure. (Level of Evidence: C) "
Class IIa
" 1. Measurement of B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) can be useful in the evaluation of patients presenting in the urgent care setting in whom the clinical diagnosis of heart failure is uncertain. Measurement of natriuretic peptides (BNP and NT-proBNP) can be useful in risk stratification.[5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12] (Level of Evidence: A) "
"2. Screening for hemochromatosis, sleep-disturbed breathing, or human immunodeficiency virus is reasonable in selected patients who present with heart failure. (Level of Evidence: C) "
"3. Diagnostic tests for rheumatologic diseases, amyloidosis, or pheochromocytoma are reasonable in patients presenting with heart failure in whom there is a clinical suspicion of these diseases. (Level of Evidence: C) "

Serial Clinical Assessment Recommendation

Class IIb
"1. The value of serial measurements of BNP to guide therapy for patients with heart failure is not well established. (Level of Evidence: C) "
