In dyspneic patients without left ventricular enlargement, it may be difficult to differentiate between obstructive lung disease and diastolic heart failure. Determination of plasma brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) levels, known to increase with ventricular stretch, may be of clinical relevance in this situation. We compared the discriminant power of BNP blood levels and of echocardiography in patients with either chronic obstructive lung disease or diastolic heart failure.
