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

The Multi-Biomarker Approach for Heart Failure in Patients with Hypertension [PDF]

, 2015
We assessed the predictive ability of selected biomarkers using N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) as the benchmark and tried to establish a multi-biomarker approach to heart failure (HF) in hypertensive patients. In 120 hypertensive

N‐Terminal Pro Brain, N‐Terminal Pro Atrial Natriuretic Peptides, and Dynamic Cerebral Autoregulation [PDF]

Journal of the American Heart Association, 2020
Background Elevated natriuretic peptides (NP) are associated with adverse cerebrovascular conditions including stroke, cerebral small vessel disease, and dementia. However, the mechanisms underlying these associations remain unclear.

N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide serum levels reflect attrition of the Fontan circulation [PDF]

, 2020
Objective: N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide has an established role in the diagnosis and prognosis of heart failure. In Fontan patients, this peptide is often increased, but its diagnostic value in this particular non-physiologic, univentricular ...

N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide levels and aortic diameters [PDF]

American Heart Journal, 2012
Women with X-chromosome monosomy or Turner syndrome (TS) are at increased risk for aortic dilation and dissection. To better understand the pathology and develop tools to monitor the risk of aortic disease, we investigated N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) (NT-proBNP) levels in women with TS and healthy female controls.We evaluated NT ...

N‐terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide in patients with acute pulmonary embolism [PDF]

European Respiratory Journal, 2003
Plasma brain natriuretic peptide (BNP), released from myocytes of ventricles upon stretch, has been reported to differentiate pulmonary from cardiac dyspnoea. Limited data have shown elevated plasma BNP levels in acute pulmonary embolism (APE), frequently accompanied by dyspnoea and right ventricular (RV) dysfunction.

Utility of N terminal pro brain natriuretic peptide in elderly patients [PDF]

Postgraduate Medical Journal, 2006
Abstract Objective To evaluate the utility of N terminal pro brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) as a diagnostic marker for diastolic dysfunction or failure, systolic dysfunction, and significant valve disorders in patients over 75 years. Design

N-Terminal Brain Natriuretic Peptide First Week After Burn Injury [PDF]

, 2018
B-type natriuretic peptide has shown promising results as a biomarker for acute kidney injury in general intensive care patients. It may also indirectly reflect fluid balance of the circulation.

Plasma N-Terminal Pro-Brain Natriuretic Peptide as Prognostic Marker in Fatal Cardial Decompensation with Sunitinib Malate Therapy [PDF]

, 2010
A 74-year-old man with metastatic renal cell carcinoma and a history of cardiac failure was treated with sunitinib malate. MUGA echocardiography could not detect a relevant change in the ejection fraction although the clinical situation of the patient ...

Liver enzymes are not directly involved in atrial fibrillation: a prospective cohort study [PDF]

, 2017
Background: Epidemiological evidence proposes the direct involvement of the liver enzymes in atrial fibrillation. These relationships are controversial and mechanistically unclear.
