The CardioNerds, Dr. Biykem Bozkurt on the Optimal Screening for Heart Failure

Drs. Hirsh Elhence and Mark Belkin of the CardioNerds are joined by Dr. Biykem Bozkurt, of the Baylor College of Medicine, to discuss a case which centers around the following question:

A 63-year-old man with a past medical history of hypertension and type 2 diabetes mellitus presents for routine follow-up. He reports feeling in general good health and enjoys 2-mile walks daily. A review of systems is negative for any symptoms. Which of the following laboratory studies may be beneficial for screening?

To answer the question, the group references Section 5.1 of the 2022 AHA/ACC/HFSA Guideline for the Management of Heart Failure.
