Heart protein test for people with acute coronary syndrome
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a simple blood test for a heart protein (called BNP) can help doctors better understand your condition and guide your care. It might help improve treatment for people who are currently having a heart-related emergency.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have acute coronary syndrome (a heart condition that includes heart attacks or unstable angina).

- Your heart pumping function is not severely weak (ejection fraction is 30% or higher).
- You do not have cardiomyopathy (disease of the heart muscle).
- You do not have serious kidney, liver, cancer, or infectious or inflammatory diseases.

This study is a registry that collects information about people who come to care with sudden (acute) worsening heart failure symptoms. If your test shows a higher BNP level, your doctors may use your details to better understand and track acute heart failure care.
This study is measuring the normal levels of a heart hormone called NT-proBNP in healthy people to help doctors better understand heart failure tests. If you join, you will provide a blood sample and have some basic health checks.
This study looks at a blood test called NT-proBNP to see if it can help predict how much blockage is in the heart's arteries. It may help doctors better understand heart disease risk.
This trial tests a new blood test that measures a heart-related protein (NT-proBNP) to help diagnose or monitor heart failure. It uses blood samples already collected from patients, so no new blood draws are needed.
This study tests whether checking a blood test (NT-proBNP) at the bedside in the heart intensive care unit helps doctors monitor how well treatment is working for people admitted with acute heart failure. The aim is to improve care for patients with fluid buildup (congestion).
This study checks whether a simple blood test (and a short questionnaire) can help find early signs of heart failure in people who are seeing a heart doctor for other reasons. It aims to make it easier to catch heart failure sooner.
