INTRODUCTIONBrain natriuretic peptide (BNP) is a cardiac biomarker used in the assessment of heart failure. Potentially, BNP levels can be used to stratify patients with thyroid storm (TS) who are at risk of complications such as heart failure and atrial fibrillation.

Glucocorticoids Inhibit Sodium Depletion-induced Salt Appetite in Rat
Glucocorticoids, produced in adrenal cortex, exert potent natriuretic and diuretic actions in the kidney. Recently, it has been found that glucocorticoids could upregulate the expression of natriuretic peptide receptor A (NPR-A), the primary receptor of ...

Abstract Patients with acutely decompensated heart failure (ADHF) are usually admitted to hospital for management. There is growing interest in delivering intravenous (IV) diuretic therapy at home, in the community or at hospital day‐care units; the safety and effectiveness of outpatient‐based management (OPM) for ADHF has not been established.

Portopulmonary hypertension practice patterns after liver transplantation
Abstract Portopulmonary hypertension (POPH) is a type of pulmonary arterial hypertension occurring exclusively in those with portal hypertensive liver disease. Liver transplantation (LT) can significantly improve outcomes. Current guidelines counsel against immediate adjustments to targeted therapy after LT and suggest routine echocardiography as ...
