During the question
Cardiovascular
A 62-year-old patient presents with dyspnea and bilateral ankle edema. Which initial test is most appropriate?
After you answer
BNP (brain natriuretic peptide) is elevated in heart failure and is the most sensitive initial test for confirming the diagnosis in a patient presenting with dyspnea and edema.
Why not the others?
Echo is ordered after BNP confirms HF. CXR is less specific. Stress test is contraindicated here.
