Abstract
Third heart sounds were sought in 100 consecutive outpatients who had B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) levels measured within 8 hours. Mean BNP levels were significantly higher in those with a third heart sound. The presence of a third heart sound was 41% sensitive and 97% specific for elevated BNP levels.
