Brain natriuretic peptide measurement in pulmonary medicine [PDF]
Serum levels of natriuretic peptides are well established as important biomarkers in patients with cardiac disease. Less attention has been placed on the role of natriuretic peptides in patients with pulmonary conditions. In several well-defined groups of patients with pulmonary disease natriuretic peptides provide the clinician with clinically ...

Homocysteinemia in Heart Failure
Background: Heart failure represents a major health problem leading to considerable mortality morbidity. High total homocysteine concentrations have been related to increased risk of atherosclerosis and its sequel, including coronary heart disease ...

Brain natriuretic peptide: identification of a second natriuretic peptide in human aqueous humour [PDF]
To measure aqueous humour levels of brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) and atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) in humans. To compare peptide levels in glaucomatous and control eyes to test the hypothesis that these peptides are increased in glaucoma. BNP and ANP are cyclic endopeptides whose principal biological effects are natriuresis and vasodilatation ...
