Several types of structural heart disease are important precursors for congestive heart failure or cardioembolic stroke. We have previously demonstrated that plasma B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) measurement is useful for detection of structural heart disease in a multiphasic health screening setting. To extend our hypothesis to the general population, the utility of BNP testing for identifying structural heart disease was assessed in a general population and in subgroups divided by sex, age, and presence/absence of risk factors.
