Homocysteine, Cystatin C and N-Terminal-Pro Brain Natriuretic Peptide

Dementia and Geriatric Cognitive Disorders, 2007
<i>Background:</i> There is increasing evidence that vascular disease contributes to cognitive impairment and dementia. Clarification of the role of vascular risk factors in dementia is important because most are modifiable, in contrast to other risk factors such as age and genetics.

N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide and subclinical brain small vessel disease

Neurology, 2016
To study the association of N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) with several brain MRI markers of brain vascular disease in a sample of participants free of stroke and dementia.NT-proBNP plasma level was determined by means of a sandwich immunoassay method in a cohort study comprising 278 hypertensive patients.

N-Terminal Pro-Brain Natriuretic Peptide After Myocardial Infarction

Hypertension, 2002
N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) is increased early after acute myocardial infarction. We assessed the relationship of NT-proBNP with left ventricular function and mass as well as with renal function, hemodynamic, and anthropometric variables in 625 outpatients in the chronic phase after myocardial infarction and 465 ...

N-terminal Pro-Brain Natriuretic Peptide in Preterm Neonates with Patent Ductus Arteriosus

Zagazig University Medical Journal, 2021
Background: N-terminal pro-BNP, the inactive by-product of Pro-BNP that is secreted from ventricular cardiomyocytes in response to volume or pressure overload, is more stable in serum samples and has a longer circulating half-life than active BNP.

Relation of Atrial Fibrillation Burden and N-Terminal Pro-Brain Natriuretic Peptide

The American Journal of Cardiology, 2013
Previous studies have noted a correlation between the presence of atrial fibrillation (AF) and elevated brain natriuretic peptide hormone level, although the exact nature of this association is unclear. Understanding the relation between AF and brain natriuretic peptide may enhance care for this patient population.

Elevated plasma N-terminal pro–brain natriuretic peptide levels in acute ischemic stroke

American Heart Journal, 2006
B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) is a neurohormone secreted mainly in the cardiac ventricles in response to volume expansion and pressure overload. The aim of this study was to assess plasma N-terminal proBNP (NT-proBNP) changes in acute ischemic stroke (AIS).The study group consisted of 57 (37 women aged 64 +/- 12 years) patients who had their first ...

Serial Measurements of N-Terminal pro-Brain Natriuretic Peptide after Acute Ischemic Stroke

Cerebrovascular Diseases, 2006
<i>Background:</i> The exact time-course of N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) and the prognostic importance in the immediate phase of ischemic stroke have not been established. <i>Methods:</i> NT-proBNP was measured daily from admission to day 5 and again at 6-month follow-up in 250 consecutive patients with ...

N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide and sudden cardiac death in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy

Heart, 2020
Objective Elevated levels of N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) are associated with heart failure-related death in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), but the relationship between NT-proBNP level and sudden cardiac death (SCD) in HCM remains undefined.

Head-to-head comparison of N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide, brain natriuretic peptide and N-terminal pro-atrial natriuretic peptide in diagnosing left ventricular dysfunction

Clinica Chimica Acta, 2001
Brain natriuretic peptide (BNP), NT-proBNP and NT-pro-atrial natriuretic peptide (NT-proANP) were measured in blood samples from 57 patients using immunoassays and immunoradiometric assays to evaluate the usefulness as diagnostic markers for the detection of heart failure.
