Plasma brain natriuretic peptide as a surrogate marker for cardioembolic stroke

BMC Neurology, 2008
Background Cardioembolic stroke generally results in more severe disability, since it typically has a larger ischemic area than the other types of ischemic stroke.

Roles of Natriuretic Peptides and the Significance of Neprilysin in Cardiovascular Diseases

Biology, 2022
Atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) and brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) activate the guanylyl cyclase A receptor (GC-A), which synthesizes the second messenger cGMP in a wide variety of tissues and cells.

Regulated Inositol‐Requiring Protein 1‐Dependent Decay as a Mechanism of Corin RNA and Protein Deficiency in Advanced Human Systolic Heart Failure [PDF]

, 2014
BACKGROUND: The compensatory actions of the endogenous natriuretic peptide system require adequate processing of natriuretic peptide pro‐hormones into biologically active, carboxyl‐terminal fragments.

The Value of Biomarkers in the Diagnosis and Prognosis of Heart Failure in Older Age

Архивъ внутренней медицины, 2021
The search for reliable algorithms for diagnosing heart failure with preserved left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) in elderly patients is an urgent problem due to the low specificity of clinical manifestations and the peculiarities of involutive ...

Association of N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide with cognitive function and depression in elderly people with type 2 diabetes [PDF]

, 2012
<p>Background: Type 2 diabetes mellitus is associated with risk of congestive heart failure (CHF), cognitive dysfunction and depression. CHF itself is linked both to poor cognition and depression.

Changes in Serum Natriuretic Peptide Levels after Percutaneous Closure of Small to Moderate Ventricular Septal Defects

The Scientific World Journal, 2012
Background. B-type natriuretic peptide has been shown to be a very sensitive and specific marker of heart failure. In this study, we aimed to investigate the effect of percutaneous closure of ventricular septal defects with Amplatzer septal occluders on ...

Physiology and clinical significance of natriuretic hormones

Indian Journal of Endocrinology and Metabolism, 2013
The natriuretic system consists of the atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) and four other similar peptides including the wrongly named brain natriuretic peptide (BNP). Chemically they are small peptide hormones predominantly secreted by the cardiac myocytes

The level of Brain natriuretic Peptide as a Predictor of the Postoperative Period at Operations with Artificial Blood circulation

Acta Biomedica Scientifica, 2019
The level of natriuretic peptide is regarded as a prognostic predictor of postoperative heart failure in modern cardiac surgery, and moreover, this hormone is included in the standards of its early diagnosis around the world.

Molecular Mechanism of Blood Pressure Regulation through the Atrial Natriuretic Peptide

Biology, 2022
Natriuretic peptides, including atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP), brain natriuretic peptide (BNP), and C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP), have cardioprotective effects and regulate blood pressure in mammals.
