Comparison of lung bedside ultrasound and BNP in the diagnosis of acute heart failure in the emergency department [PDF]
Introduction: Congestive heart failure is heart muscle failure that causes pulmonary congestion and eventually pulmonary edema, which despite recent medical advances, is still a progressive syndrome with high mortality, the prevalence of which has ...

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.

Bayesian nonparametric sparse VAR models [PDF]
High dimensional vector autoregressive (VAR) models require a large number of parameters to be estimated and may suffer of inferential problems. We propose a new Bayesian nonparametric (BNP) Lasso prior (BNP-Lasso) for high-dimensional VAR models that ...

Resetting the neurohormonal balance in heart failure (HF). the relevance of the natriuretic peptide (NP) system to the clinical management of patients with HF [PDF]
The natriuretic peptide (NP) system, which includes atrial natriuretic peptide, B-type natriuretic peptide, and C-type natriuretic peptide, has an important role in cardiovascular homeostasis, promoting a number of physiological effects including ...

Utility of B-type natriuretic peptide in predicting medium-term mortality in patients undergoing major non-cardiac surgery [PDF]
We assessed the ability of pre-operative B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) levels to predict medium-term mortality in patients undergoing major noncardiac surgery.

Natriuretic peptide and exercise
Natriuretic peptide (NP) release is mainly stimulated by stretching of the myocardium. NP causes diuresis, natriuresis and vasodilation. NP release increases during exercise. Increased NP plays a counter-regulatory role in increased blood pressure during
