  • Biomarker increase (B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP)/ N-terminal pro-BNP (NT-proBNP)) consistent with decompensation of heart failure (such as BNP greater than 500 pg/mL or NT-proBNP greater than 2,000 pg/mL). In patients with chronically elevated natriuretic peptides, a significant increase above baseline is required.
