The Multi-Biomarker Approach for Heart Failure in Patients with Hypertension [PDF]
We assessed the predictive ability of selected biomarkers using N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) as the benchmark and tried to establish a multi-biomarker approach to heart failure (HF) in hypertensive patients. In 120 hypertensive

Background: Some research reports the usefulness of the N-terminal proBrain natriuretic peptide (NT proBNP) as a diagnostic tool for left ven-tricular hypertrophy due to increased levels of NT proBNP in hypertensive patients with left ventricular ...

Placental Expression of proBNP/NT-proBNP and Plasma Levels of NT-proBNP in Early- and Late-Onset Preeclampsia [PDF]
Levels of plasma N-terminal pro B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) are elevated in preeclampsia. In this study, the possibility that the placenta produces and releases proBNP/NT-proBNP was explored. Plasma levels of NT-proBNP in early- and late-onset preeclampsia were also measured.Placental proBNP mRNA in early-onset preeclampsia (n = 7), late ...

A Multi-marker Model for Predicting Decompensated Heart Failure in Patients with Prior Acute Myocardial Infarction [PDF]
The aim of the study was to assess the prognostic value of determining the plasma concentration of NT-proBNP and ST2 in the patients with decompensated HF and prior acute myocardial infarction and their combination in this category of patients.Materials ...

The Potential Role of Salivary NT-proBNP in Heart Failure
Background: Serum natriuretic peptides (NPs) have an established role in heart failure (HF) diagnosis. Saliva NT-proBNP that may be easily acquired has been studied little. Methods: Ninety-nine subjects were enrolled; thirty-six obese or hypertensive with dyspnoea but no echocardiographic HF findings or raised NPs served as controls, thirteen chronic ...

Biomarkers and low risk in heart failure. Data from COACH and TRIUMPH [PDF]
Aim Traditionally, risk stratification in heart failure (HF) emphasizes assessment of high risk. We aimed to determine if biomarkers could identify patients with HF at low risk for death or HF rehospitalization.

Exploring the relation between changes in NT-proBNP and renal function in patients with suspected heart failure using structural equation modelling [PDF]
Background: The relation between changes in NT-proBNP and renal function has commonly been studied using multiple regressions, which may ignore the complexity of relations between related variables.
