Diagnosis of heart failure cannot be made by symptoms alone because many disorders share the same symptoms. The most specific and sensitive diagnostic test for heart failure is:
 
  1. Chest x-rays that show cephalization and measure heart size
  2. Two-dimensional echocardiograms that identify structural anomalies and cardiac dysfunction
  3. Complete blood count, blood urea nitrogen, and serum electrolytes that facilitate staging for end-organ damage
  4. Measurement of brain natriuretic peptide to distinguish between systolic and diastolic dysfunction
