Background Cardiovascular biomarkers such as NT‐proBNP (N‐terminal pro‐B‐type natriuretic peptide) are used for heart failure risk stratification in patients with acquired heart disease, but there are limited data about its role in patients with ...

Levels of NT‑proBNP in patients with cancer
At present, it is well known that natriuretic peptides may be produced by cancer cells. Stimulation of N-terminal pro B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) synthesis may be a reaction to activity of several proinflammatory cytokines. NT-proBNP is also a marker of myocardial damage during cardiotoxic chemotherapy by anthracyclines.

BACKGROUND Acute declines in kidney function occur in approximately 20-30% of patients with acute decompensated heart failure, but its significance is unclear and importance of its context is not known.

Role of selenium in the pathophysiology of cardiorenal anaemia syndrome
Abstract Chronic kidney disease (CKD) and cardiovascular disease (CVD) have multiple bidirectional mechanisms, and anaemia is one of the critical factors that are associated with the progression of the two disorders [referred to as cardiorenal anaemia syndrome (CRAS)].

Combining Circulating MicroRNA and NT-proBNP to Detect and Categorize Heart Failure Subtypes.
BACKGROUND Clinicians need improved tools to better identify nonacute heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to derive and validate circulating microRNA signatures for nonacute heart failure (HF)

Biomarkers of lung congestion and injury in acute heart failure
Abstract Acute heart failure (AHF) classification and management are primarily based on lung congestion and/or hypoperfusion. The quantification of the vascular and tissue lung damage is not standard practice though biomarkers of lung injury may play a relevant role in this context.

The role of NT-proBNP in screening for atrial fibrillation in hypertensive disease
Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) screening should be considered in elderly patients with high risk of stroke, which include individuals with hypertension.

Background. The diagnostic and prognostic role of N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) in heart failure is well established. However, additional factors may influence its concentration.

Atrial fibrillation impairs the diagnostic performance of cardiac natriuretic peptides in dyspneic patients. results from the BACH Study (Biomarkers in ACute Heart Failure) [PDF]
Objectives: The purpose of this study was to assess the impact of atrial fibrillation (AF) on the performance of mid-region amino terminal pro-atrial natriuretic peptide (MR-proANP) in comparison with the B-type peptides (BNP and NT-proBNP) for diagnosis

OBJECTIVES This study examined the effects of sacubitril/valsartan on N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) levels and determined patient characteristics associated with favorable NT-proBNP reduction response.
