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.

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 ...

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 ...

Natriuretic Peptide Actions in the Brain [PDF]
, 1997 The discovery of atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) in the heart some 15 yr ago (1) prompted an explosion of research directed toward understanding both the integrated physiological roles and the potential sites of action of this vasoactive peptide. These studies pointed to the central nervous system (CNS), and in particular to regions of the brain with ...

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

Journal of Hypertension, 2001
Brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) is a ventricular hormone with natriuretic, diuretic and vasodilatory actions. Acute infusion of BNP reduces cardiac pre- and after-load in healthy and diseased subjects, but its long-term therapeutic usefulness remains unclear.We prepared a monoclonal antibody specific to mouse BNP, and characterized transgenic mice ...

Pulsatile secretion of atrial natriuretic peptide and brain natriuretic peptide in healthy humans
Clinical Science, 1999Both atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) and brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) are involved in sodium and water homoeostasis in healthy humans. The plasma concentrations of the natriuretic peptides can be used to differentiate between dyspnoea of cardiac and pulmonary origin, and the degree of elevation of the peptide levels in the plasma in heart failure ...

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.

Atrial Natriuretic Peptide and Brain Natriuretic Peptide in Cor Pulmonale
Chest, 1996We have studied the hemodynamic and hormonal effects of atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) and brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) in eight patients with cor pulmonale. Subjects were studied twice and were given a 20-min placebo infusion followed by either ANP or BNP (3 pmol/kg/min then 10 pmol/kg/ min for 20 min each).
