Abstract
Natriuretic Peptides like BNP or NT Pro BNP are diagnostic and prognostic makers largely used in clinical practice. Ageing may increase these peptides, especially in case of comorbidities like renal failure or hypertension and require adjustment for age. Diagnostic value of natriuretic peptides seems however preserved in elderly people.
