### Cardiology **Note:** * Patients with pulmonary edema with maintained BP, not recovering. * Dialysis or SCUF via Central / femoral catheter (SCUF - Slow Continuous ultra Filtration) * **BNP and NT ProBNP:** * > 900 pg/mL in patients with probability of HF. * Lower in obese (as it is metabolised by adipocytes). * Diagnostic value in renal failure. * **Early vasodilator therapy in Acute AR / MR:** * Nitroprusside > NTG (Nitroglycerine) * Decreases aortic pressure * Decreases transvalvular gradient in AR/MR
