Brain Type Natriuretic Peptide
Neonatal Network, 2008BRAIN TYPE NATRIURETIC PEPTIDE, also called B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP), has emerged as a valuable diagnostic and prognostic marker in the assessment of heart failure in adults.1–7 Serum BNP levels have also been shown to differentiate pulmonary from cardiac causes of dyspnea and to be useful as a screening tool for ventricular hypertrophy ...

A new natriuretic peptide in porcine brain
Nature, 1988Atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP), a hormone secreted from mammalian atria, regulates the homoeostatic balance of body fluid and blood pressure. ANP-like immunoreactivity is also present in the brain, suggesting that the peptide functions as a neuropeptide.

Current Opinion in Cardiology, 2014
To evaluate new development in the utility of brain natriuretic peptide and N-Terminal brain natriuretic peptide (BNP/NT-Pro-BNP) in the management of various cardiovascular diseases. The determination of plasma BNP levels has an established role in the discrimination of pulmonary oedema from other causes of acute dyspnoea, and there is increasing ...

Brain Natriuretic Peptide in Term Pregnancy
Reproductive Sciences, 2012To determine the normal range of serum brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) in uncomplicated, singleton term pregnant patients.Serum for analysis of BNP was drawn at admission to labor and delivery (= 104), prior to administration of intravenous fluid.Median BNP was 20 pg/mL, with an interquartile range of 20 pg/mL (range 5-70 pg/mL; or a mean ± standard ...

Brain Natriuretic Peptide in Cardiovascular Diseases
The American Journal of the Medical Sciences, 2008The natriuretic peptides are a family of related hormones that play an important role in the homeostasis of cardiovascular system. Serum levels of brain natriuretic peptide have recently emerged as a marker for the diagnosis, prognosis, follow-up, and therapy of patients with heart failure (HF) and other cardiovascular diseases.

The effect of syncope on brain natriuretic peptide
Emergency Medicine Journal, 2011Brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) may be a good prognostic marker in syncope. The aim of this study was to establish whether there is any change in BNP in association with an acute presentation.Patients aged ≥60 years admitted following presentation to the emergency department (ED) with syncope were eligible for prospective enrolment.

Annali italiani di medicina interna : organo ufficiale della Societa italiana di medicina interna, 1996
Brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) is a cardiac hormone with a spectrum of activities quite similar to those of atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP), including diuretic, natriuretic, hypotensive and smooth muscle relaxant activities. These effects are due to the stimulation of guanylate cyclase-linked natriuretic peptide receptors, leading to an increase in ...

American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, 1995
Our purpose was to compare the actions of atrial natriuretic peptide and brain natriuretic peptide in the human placental vasculature.Isolated placental cotyledons were dually perfused with fetal perfusion pressure used as an index of vascular response.

Endocrinology, 1992
To elucidate the ligand-receptor relationship of the natriuretic peptide system, which comprises at least three endogenous ligands, atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP), brain natriuretic peptide (BNP), and C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP), and three receptors, the ANP-A receptor or guanylate cyclase-A (GC-A), the ANP-B receptor or guanylate cyclase-B (GC ...

Current Pharmaceutical Design, 2005
The discovery of B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) and n-terminal pro BNP (nt-proBNP) as markers for the diagnosis, severity and prognosis of patients with congestive heart failure has been called a true breakthrough for patients and physicians faced with this disorder. Moreover, the literature on their prognostic value in other clinical conditions like
