The level of NT-proBNP in ambulatory patients with chronic heart failure with preserved ejection fraction of the left ventricle [PDF]

Терапевтический архив, 2018
The prevalence of chronic heart failure (CHF) remains high. Echocardiography is a reliable method of diagnosing heart failure. Determination of brain natriuretic peptide allows to identify patients with the most probable diagnosis of heart failure, which

Relation between three-dimensional and two-dimensional echocardiography and biochemical analysis in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction percutaneously treated

Einstein (São Paulo), 2010
Objective: The prognosis of patients with acute myocardial infarction depends on multiple features that can demonstrate myocardial injury degree (such as serum markers of cardiac necrosis), and also on adaptive mechanisms relative to the acute event. The

NH2-Terminal Pro–Brain Natriuretic Peptide and Risk of Diabetes

Diabetes, 2013
Brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) has an established role in cardiovascular disease (CVD). However, recent animal studies suggest direct metabolic effects of BNP.

Biomarkers of Atrial Fibrillation: Which One Is a True Marker?

Cardiology Research and Practice, 2019
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained cardiac arrhythmias and associated with the risk of stroke and death. Continuous development of the diagnostic tool and prognostic stratification may lead to optimal management of AF.

Pediatric brain natriuretic peptide and N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide reference intervals [PDF]

Clinica Chimica Acta, 2006
Brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) and N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) have been shown to be useful biomarkers for the diagnosis of heart failure. Pediatric reference intervals for these analytes have been reported in part. Previous studies lack large numbers in each group, have not covered all age ranges and have not compared results

Case report: False-positive B-type natriuretic peptide results with the cyclic amplified fluorescence immunoassay

Journal of International Medical Research
B-type natriuretic peptide, which was initially isolated from porcine brain tissue, has been used in the clinic as an important indicator for the diagnosis, risk stratification, and prognosis of heart failure.
