The level of NT-proBNP in ambulatory patients with chronic heart failure with preserved ejection fraction of the left ventricle [PDF]

Терапевтический архив, 2018
The prevalence of chronic heart failure (CHF) remains high. Echocardiography is a reliable method of diagnosing heart failure. Determination of brain natriuretic peptide allows to identify patients with the most probable diagnosis of heart failure, which

Blood pressure effects of SGLT2 inhibitors and GLP‐1 receptor agonists: Mechanisms, trial evidence and Real‐world data

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
SGLT2 inhibitors and GLP‐1 receptor agonists modestly lower blood pressure across diverse patient populations, including those without diabetes. These effects appear largely independent of glycaemic control and offer additive value in high‐risk patients with overlapping comorbidities.

Relation between three-dimensional and two-dimensional echocardiography and biochemical analysis in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction percutaneously treated

Einstein (São Paulo), 2010
Objective: The prognosis of patients with acute myocardial infarction depends on multiple features that can demonstrate myocardial injury degree (such as serum markers of cardiac necrosis), and also on adaptive mechanisms relative to the acute event. The

Development of a population pharmacokinetic model using combined paediatric and adult data for four pulmonary arterial hypertension drugs

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Aims Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a syndrome characterized by elevated pulmonary artery pressure. We developed a population pharmacokinetic (PPK) model using combined plasma drug concentration data from Japanese paediatric (<15 years) and adult (≥15 years) patients with PAH to investigate the pharmacokinetic characteristics of PAH ...

The Impact of a Visualized Steerable Sheath on Radiofrequency Catheter Ablation for First‐Time Atrial Fibrillation Ablation: A Prospective, Randomized, Single‐Blind Study

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background A 3D electroanatomical mapping (3D‐EAM) visualized steerable sheath was designed to improve catheter placement and reduce radiation exposure during ablation, an established treatment for atrial fibrillation (AF). However, prospective randomized data comparing the procedural and clinical outcomes of visualized and non‐visualized ...

Biomarkers of Atrial Fibrillation: Which One Is a True Marker?

Cardiology Research and Practice, 2019
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained cardiac arrhythmias and associated with the risk of stroke and death. Continuous development of the diagnostic tool and prognostic stratification may lead to optimal management of AF.

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 High‐Sensitivity C‐Reactive Protein−Albumin−Lymphocyte Index Is a Prognostic Marker for All‐Cause and Cardiovascular Mortality in Patients With ST‐Elevation Myocardial Infarction

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Inflammation and immune dysfunction may worsen the prognosis of patients with ST‐segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Aims This study aimed to assess whether the high‐sensitivity C‐reactive protein–albumin–lymphocyte index (hsCALLYI) could be used to predict the prognosis of STEMI patients who received emergency ...

Case report: False-positive B-type natriuretic peptide results with the cyclic amplified fluorescence immunoassay

Journal of International Medical Research
B-type natriuretic peptide, which was initially isolated from porcine brain tissue, has been used in the clinic as an important indicator for the diagnosis, risk stratification, and prognosis of heart failure.
