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

open access: yesТерапевтический 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

Brain natriuretic peptide: Diagnostic potential in dogs [PDF]

open access: yesVeterinarski Glasnik, 2009
The endocrine role of the heart is evident in the secretion of noradrenaline and natriuretic peptides. The secretion of natriuretic peptides presents a useful mechanism for different conditions of cardiac dysfunction.

Glucocorticoids Inhibit Sodium Depletion-induced Salt Appetite in Rat [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Glucocorticoids, produced in adrenal cortex, exert potent natriuretic and diuretic actions in the kidney. Recently, it has been found that glucocorticoids could upregulate the expression of natriuretic peptide receptor A (NPR-A), the primary receptor of ...

Successful Revascularization of Chronic Total Occlusions in Patients With Chronic Thromboembolic Pulmonary Disease

open access: yesCatheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary disease (CTEPD) leads to chronic total occlusions (CTOs) of the pulmonary arteries in a minority of patients. Treatment of CTOs with balloon pulmonary angioplasty (BPA) may substantially improve patient hemodynamics but presents unique technical challenges and has previously been associated with a ...

Brain Natriuretic Peptide

open access: yesJournal of the ASEAN Federation of Endocrine Societies
INTRODUCTIONBrain natriuretic peptide (BNP) is a cardiac biomarker used in the assessment of heart failure. Potentially, BNP levels can be used to stratify patients with thyroid storm (TS) who are at risk of complications such as heart failure and atrial fibrillation.

Causal Effects of Hydrophilic Bile Acids on Carfilzomib‐Related Cardiovascular Events in Multiple Myeloma: A Mendelian Randomization Study

open access: yesClinical Pharmacology &Therapeutics, EarlyView.
Carfilzomib is highly effective in the treatment of multiple myeloma, but it has been associated with cardiovascular adverse events that impact patient outcomes. Our prior global metabolomic analyses indicated an association between hydrophilic bile acids and carfilzomib‐cardiotoxicity risk, although a causal relationship remained to be determined ...
