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.

Brain natriuretic peptide is cosecreted with atrial natriuretic peptide from porcine cardiocytes [PDF]

FEBS Letters, 1990
Using primary cultures of atrial cardiocytes from neonatal pig, the secretion of brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) and atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP)‐like immunoreactivities (LI) was studied in vitro. Porcine cardiocytes time‐dependently secreted both BNP‐LI and ANP‐LI into medium under a serum‐free condition, although the amount of BNP‐LI secreted was

Long‐Term Outcomes of Reduced Intensity Conditioning Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation for Systemic Sclerosis Patients with Impaired Cardiac Function

Arthritis &Rheumatology, Accepted Article.
Objective High intensity conditioning autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (AHSCT) is standard of care for patients with advanced SSc. The role of reduced intensity conditioning (RIC) prior to AHSCT in this population remains unclear. We conducted this study to determine the long‐term outcomes of RIC AHSCT in SSc patients with cardiac ...

Utility of B-type natriuretic peptide in predicting medium-term mortality in patients undergoing major non-cardiac surgery [PDF]

, 2007
We assessed the ability of pre-operative B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) levels to predict medium-term mortality in patients undergoing major noncardiac surgery.

Blood pressure effects of SGLT2 inhibitors and GLP‐1 receptor agonists: Mechanisms, trial evidence and Real‐world data

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
SGLT2 inhibitors and GLP‐1 receptor agonists modestly lower blood pressure across diverse patient populations, including those without diabetes. These effects appear largely independent of glycaemic control and offer additive value in high‐risk patients with overlapping comorbidities.

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.

Brain natriuretic peptide and NT-proBNP levels reflect pulmonary artery systolic pressure in trekkers at high altitude. [PDF]

, 2013
Our objective was to evaluate the utility of the natriuretic peptides BNP (brain natriuretic peptide) and NT-proBNP as markers of pulmonary artery systolic pressure (PASP) in trekkers ascending to high altitude (HA). 20 participants had BNP and NT-proBNP
