Natriuretic peptides and cardiovascular damage in the metabolic syndrome. Molecular mechanisms and clinical implications [PDF]

, 2010
Natriuretic peptides are endogenous antagonists of vasoconstrictor and salt- and water-retaining systems in the body's defence against blood pressure elevation and plasma volume expansion, through direct vasodilator, diuretic and natriuretic properties ...

Body composition indices and cardiovascular risk in type 2 diabetes. CV biomarkers are not related to body composition

Open Medicine, 2020
This study aims to explore the correlations of body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), waist-to-height ratio (WHtR), waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) and body composition with levels of asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA), endothelin 1(ET-1), N-terminal ...

Novel biomarkers for risk stratification in pulmonary arterial hypertension

ERJ Open Research, 2015
Risk stratification in pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is paramount to identifying individuals at highest risk of death. So far, there are only limited parameters for prognostication in patients with PAH.

Prognostic Value of Serial Galectin‐3 Measurements in Patients With Acute Heart Failure

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2017
BackgroundSeveral clinical studies have evaluated the association between galectin‐3 levels and outcome in patients with heart failure (HF). However, little is known about the predictive value of repeated galectin‐3 measurements. This study evaluates the

N‐terminal Pro‐brain Natriuretic Peptide in the Elderly with Myocardial Infarction [PDF]

Clinical Cardiology, 2008
AbstractBackgroundThe myocardial infarction (MI) results in the change of the levels of N‐terminal pro‐brain natriuretic peptide (NT‐proBNP) in blood. In addition, attention is paid to the dependence of NT‐proBNP levels on the patients' age. However, the behavior of natriuretic peptide levels has not been recognized well enough in the elderly with MI ...

N-terminal-pro brain natriuretic peptide levels in children with allergic rhinitis

TURKISH JOURNAL OF MEDICAL SCIENCES, 2016
Persistent upper airway obstruction may lead to increased pulmonary arterial pressure (PAP). The aim of this study was to evaluate N-terminal pro brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) concentrations and PAP values in children with allergic rhinitis.Sixty-six patients with allergic rhinitis and 22 healthy children were prospectively enrolled in this ...

N-terminal pro–brain natriuretic peptide and abnormal brain aging [PDF]

Neurology, 2015
To investigate the independent association of serum N-terminal fragment of the prohormone natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) with structural and functional features of abnormal brain aging in older individuals.In this cross-sectional study based on the Age, Gene/Environment Susceptibility (AGES)-Reykjavik Study, we included 4,029 older community-dwelling ...

Parathormone levels add prognostic ability to N‐terminal pro‐brain natriuretic peptide in stable coronary patients

ESC Heart Failure, 2021
Aims There are controversial data on the ability of the components of mineral metabolism (vitamin D, phosphate, parathormone [PTH], fibroblast growth factor‐23 [FGF23], and klotho) to predict cardiovascular events. In addition, it is unknown whether they
