B-type natriuretic peptide in heart failure
Current Opinion in Cardiology, 2006This review focuses on recent literature pertaining to the role of B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) in heart failure.Heart failure is a common disorder that is associated with significant mortality and morbidity. The diagnosis of heart failure may at times be difficult when using conventional tools.

Biomarkers in Medicine, 2009
B-type natriuretic peptide and N-terminal pro B-type natriuretic peptide have emerged as powerful biomarkers for heart failure and other cardiovascular conditions. B-type natriuretic peptide and N-terminal pro B-type natriuretic peptide are synthesized on the basis of myocardial stress and hypertrophy and are detectable in serum by several commercially

B-Type Natriuretic Peptide — A Window to the Heart
New England Journal of Medicine, 2002Left ventricular dysfunction, regardless of its cause, results in characteristic hemodynamic derangements and a process of neurohormonal activation.

In 1988, Sudoh and co-workers first isolated a novel peptide from porcine brain and designated the peptide “brain natriuretic peptide,” or BNP, based on its similarity to atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) (1). BNP also was isolated from the cardiac tissue of pigs, rats, and humans (2–5).

B-type natriuretic peptide in the cardiology department.
Irish medical journal, 2012Heart Failure is one of the fastest growing cardiovascular diseases of the 21st century. Echocardiogram is considered the gold standard for diagnosis, but is costly, time consuming and not readily accessible to all patients. Our aim was to assess the diagnostic utility of BNP to risk stratify patients for ECHO.

B-Type Natriuretic Peptide and the Right Heart
Heart Failure Reviews, 2004B-type natriuretic Peptide (BNP) is elevated in conditions with ventricular volume and pressure overload. The physiological, diagnostic and therapeutic role of BNP in right ventricular (RV) dysfunction and pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) are reviewed in this article.

Expression of B-type natriuretic peptide in atrial natriuretic peptide gene disrupted mice
Molecular and Cellular Biochemistry, 2001Atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) and B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) are two hormones produced and secreted by the heart to control blood pressure, body fluid homeostasis and electrolyte balance. Each peptide binds to a common family of 3 receptors (GC-A, GC-B and C-receptor) with varying degrees of affinity.

Utility of B-Type Natriuretic Peptides in Preeclampsia
Obstetric Anesthesia Digest, 2013Preeclampsia and its complications may be associated with elevated B-type natriuretic peptide levels during and after pregnancy.We conducted a systematic review to determine whether preeclampsia and/or related cardiovascular complications, eclampsia and preterm delivery are associated with elevated natriuretic peptide levels.

B-type natriuretic peptide is a neurohormone synthesized in the cardiac ventricles upon ventricular pressure overload and ventricular dilatation. This peptide with many favourable physiological properties has emerged as important candidate for development of diagnosis and prognostic tools and therapeutic agents in cardiovascular disease.Literature ...

Abstract Background: B‐type natriuretic peptide (BNP) and the N‐terminal fragment of proBNP (NT‐proBNP) seem to be useful diagnostic tools also in children with cardiac disease. Recent data suggest that plasma levels of both peptides show different patterns from infancy to adolescence.
