Under 5 years of age:N-terminal pro brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) values below 3 pg/mL have a 99% negative predictive value for excluding acute congestive heart failure (CHF). A cutoff of 1,2 pg/mL for patients with an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) below 6 yields a diagnostic sensitivity and specificity of 89% and 72% for acute CHF. NT-proBNP values greater than 45 pg/mL are consistent with CHF in adults under 5 years of age.5-75 years of age:NT-proBNP values below 3 pg/mL have a 99% negative predictive value for excluding acute CHF. A cutoff of 1,2 pg/mL, for patients with an eGFR below 6 yields a diagnostic sensitivity and specificity of 89% and 72% for acute CHF. A diagnostic NT-proBNP cutoff of 9 pg/mL has been suggested in adults 5 to 75 years of age in the absence of renal failure.Over 75 years of age:NT-proBNP values below 3 pg/mL have a 99% negative predictive value for excluding acute CHF. A cutoff of 1,2 pg/mL for patients with an eGFR below 6 yields a diagnostic sensitivity and specificity of 89% and 72% for acute CHF. A diagnostic NT-proBNP cutoff of 1,8 pg/mL has been suggested in adults over 75 years of age in the absence of renal failure.
