Inflammation increases NT-proBNP and the NT-proBNP/BNP ratio
Clinical Research in Cardiology, 2010Plasma BNP and NT-proBNP are often regarded as interchangeable parameters in assessing heart failure (HF) severity and prognosis. Renal failure results in disproportionate increases of NT-proBNP and an increased NT-proBNP/BNP ratio. Low kidney function is therefore considered particularly when NT-proBNP is used to assess HF.

NT-proBNP Concentrations in Mountain Marathoners
Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research, 2010The 76 amino acid N-terminal proB-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) is proposed for evaluating and monitoring heart pathologies characterized by myocardial wall stress. Strenuous exercise might generate transitory ischemia, myocardial stress, and diastolic left ventricular dysfunction, possibly inducing an increase of some biochemical parameter ...

NT-proBNP in the Mitral Valve Surgery
Critical Pathways in Cardiology: A Journal of Evidence-Based Medicine, 2014Prognosis and severity of mitral valve disease in patients are reflected in their natriuretic peptide levels. Patients in the upper margin of this range with severe mitral valve dysfunction also present with a range of myocardial dysfunction and symptomatic progression.

Gastric Bypass Surgery Elevates NT-ProBNP Levels
Obesity Surgery, 2013Brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) is produced in the heart in response to stretching of the myocardium. BNP levels are negatively correlated to obesity, and in obese subjects, a reduced BNP responsiveness has been described. Diet-induced weight loss has been found to lower or to have no effect on BNP levels, whereas gastric banding and gastric bypass ...

Performance of urinary NT-proBNP in ambulatory settings
Clinica Chimica Acta, 2022NT-proBNP (N-terminal prohormone of brain natriuretic peptide) has been established as a useful biomarker in plasma for children with congenital heart disease (CHD). Plasma values were shown to correlate well with urinary values. We designed a study to investigate the general utility of urinary NT-proBNP in children with and without CHD in an ...

NT-ProBNP: The Mechanism Behind the Marker
Journal of Cardiac Failure, 2005Brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) was isolated originally from porcine brain extracts but was soon defined as a cardiac natriuretic hormone. Together with the highly homologous atrial natriuretic peptide, it forms a dual natriuretic peptide system of the heart. The main stimulus for proBNP synthesis and secretion from cardiac myocytes is myocyte stretch.

Present chez la plupart des mammiferes, le gene codant pour le BNP est situe sur le chromosome 1 (1p36.2) et se compose de 3 exons et de 2 introns chez l’Homme. Ce gene code une proteine de 134 acides amines (AA), le pre-proBNP1–134. Ce precurseur est transforme par clivage enzymatique de son peptide signal (26 AA) en proBNP1–108 (108 AA), une ...

Nt‐proBNP in haemodialysis patients: A preliminary study
Scandinavian Journal of Clinical and Laboratory Investigation, 2008N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (Nt-proBNP) is a marker of left ventricular function. Although many factors can increase left ventricular dysfunction in haemodialysis patients, the role of Nt-proBNP is uncertain.Serum concentrations of Nt-proBNP and troponin T were measured by electrochemiluminescence and C-reactive protein by ...
