Inflammation increases NT-proBNP and the NT-proBNP/BNP ratio

Clinical Research in Cardiology, 2010
Plasma 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, 2010
The 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, 2014
Prognosis 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, 2013
Brain 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, 2022
NT-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 ...
