BNP and congestive heart failure
Current Problems in Cardiology, 2002Brain natriuretic peptide (BNP), a peptide hormone secreted chiefly by ventricular myocytes, plays a key role in volume homeostasis. The plasma concentration of BNP is raised in various pathological states, especially heart failure. Many studies suggest that measurement of plasma BNP has clinical utility for excluding a diagnosis of heart failure in ...

Mechanisms of renal hyporesponsiveness to BNP in heart failure.
Canadian Journal of Physiology and Pharmacology, 2015The B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP), a member of the family of vasoactive peptides, is a potent natriuretic, diuretic, and vasodilatory peptide that contributes to blood pressure and volume homeostasis. These attributes make BNP an ideal drug that could

BNP as A Biomarker in Heart Disease
2005Heart ventricles produce B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) in response to increased mechanical load and wall stretch. BNP protects the heart from adverse consequences of overload by increasing natriuresis and diuresis, relaxing vascular smooth muscle, inhibiting the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system, and by counteracting cardiac hypertrophy and ...

Discharge BNP is a stronger predictor of 6-month mortality in acute heart failure compared with baseline BNP and admission-to-discharge percentage BNP reduction [PDF]
International Journal of Cardiology, 2016 Prior studies found a significant relationship between admission B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP), discharge BNP and admission-to-discharge percentage BNP reduction and post-discharge mortality in acute heart failure (HF).The ESCAPE trial data was utilized to identify which of these BNP parameters best predicts 6-month all-cause mortality.433 patients (

ver 5 million Americans have heart failure (HF) and 550,000 new cases are diagnosed each year.' The incidence and increasing prevalence of HF is attributed to the aging population and improved survival from other cardiovascular disorders like coronary artery disease.' Mortality rates for HF are high; 1 in 5 die within 1 year of diagnosis.

BNP—Considering a Heartfelt Message
Heart, Lung and Circulation, 2004The natriuretic hormones have been discovered as mediators of the cardiac response to volume overload and mechanical dysfunction. Although there are some physiological differences between atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) and brain natriuretic peptide (BNP), it is BNP that has been found to be most useful as a clinical test.

When trying to demonstrate the necessity of mathematics in finance, I usually begin by explaining the Black–Scholes model, as an application of stochastic differential equations. But in this case, I would like to change the perspective a little and talk to you about mathematics as a tool for thought, on how effective a tool it can be, in both English ...
