Abstract Background B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) and the N-terminal proBNP (NT-proBNP) exhibit different evolution in chronic heart failure patients with reduced ejection fraction treated with Sacubitril/Valsartan; BNP increasing or remaining stable, while NT-proBNP decreases. However, how this difference translates upon acute decompensation is unknown. Case summary Herein, we described in a 78-year-old woman with chronic heart failure with reduced ejection fraction treated with Sacubitril/Valsartan who had acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF). BNP and NT-proBNP were markedly high during ADHF and showed parallel return to baseline level after clinical improvement. Discussion BNP and NT-proBNP retained similar value for the diagnosis of ADHF in patient treated with Sacubitril/Valsartan. These findings strongly suggest that either BNP or NT-proBNP can be used indifferently in this context, while their relative use is debated in chronic heart failure.
