Review: The utility of BNP in clinical practice [PDF]
Brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) is a cardiac neurohormone of increasing interest over recent years, with research applications expanding at a rapid rate and new data published on a monthly basis. Initially developed as a diagnostic aid for those with acute shortness of breath, clinical applications are now increasing, and this article reviews these ...

This year marks the 10th anniversary of the clinical introduction of natriuretic peptides (NPs) in acute cardiovascular care. In 2002, the seminal Breathing NOT Properly Study was published in the New England Journal of Medicine and paved the way for the widespread clinical use of NPs.1 This study was built on the knowledge gained from pioneering work ...

Doxorubicin Selectively Inhibits Brain versus Atrial Natriuretic Peptide Gene Expression in Cultured Neonatal Rat Myocytes [PDF]
Doxorubicin is an antineoplastic agent with significant cardiotoxicity. We examined the effects of this agent on the expression of the natriuretic peptide (NP) genes in cultured neonatal rat atrial myocytes.

Demonstration of early functional compromise of bone marrow derived hematopoietic progenitor cells during bovine neonatal pancytopenia through in vitro culture of bone marrow biopsies [PDF]
Background Bovine neonatal pancytopenia (BNP) is a syndrome characterised by thrombocytopenia associated with marked bone marrow destruction in calves, widely reported since 2007 in several European countries and since 2011 in New Zealand. The disease is

Brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) in euthyroid sick syndrome
INTRODUCTION: Thyroid hormones (TH) play a significant role in cardiovascular (CV) homeostasis. When the effect of TH on the CV system has been examined, especially in recent years, "euthyroid sick syndrome (ESS)" has attracted attention.

Plasma N-Terminal Pro-Brain Natriuretic Peptide as Prognostic Marker in Fatal Cardial Decompensation with Sunitinib Malate Therapy [PDF]
A 74-year-old man with metastatic renal cell carcinoma and a history of cardiac failure was treated with sunitinib malate. MUGA echocardiography could not detect a relevant change in the ejection fraction although the clinical situation of the patient ...
