How about a BNP tracker?

Have you tried the Personal Health Records? Since BNP is a test that isn't taken too often, you can add this to your PHR under Test Results.

To create a PHR, go to "My MedHelp". Next to the profile tab, you'll see a tab with an add (+) sign on it. If you click the tab, you can choose to create a PHR. Then just fill out the information in the Test Results widget.

Thanks,
MedHelp

Really? BNP tests aren't taken too often? My husband has to have one about every two weeks!

there is not good evidence to suggest that regular BNP testing is any better than regular weight checking or other measures of progress and therapeutic benefit of treatment of Congestive Heart Failure.

there is limited evidence to show that serial measurements of BNP after an acute coronary event, such as at 4 and 12 weeks afterwards, can provide prognostic information.
