atrial natriuretic factor test (ANF),

a blood test used to detect levels of ANF, which have been shown to be a marker of congestive heart failure (CHF) severity in patients with known CHF. ANF is also used to predict which cardiac patients are likely to develop CHF and to predict the chance of developing CHF after acute myocardial infarction.
