NT-proBNP and Its Correlation with In-Hospital Mortality in the Very Elderly without an Admission Diagnosis of Heart Failure. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2016
BACKGROUND:The diagnosis of heart failure (HF) is often difficult and underestimated in very elderly comorbid patients, especially when an echocardiographic evaluation is not available or feasible.

B-type natriuretic peptide versus amino terminal pro-B type natriuretic peptide: selecting the optimal heart failure marker in patients with impaired kidney function [PDF]

, 2013
Background: The effect of impaired kidney function on B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) and N-terminal proBNP (NT-proBNP) is vague. This study was performed to examine the effect of kidney dysfunction on the afore-mentioned markers and determine ...

Exploring the relation between changes in NT-proBNP and renal function in patients with suspected heart failure using structural equation modelling [PDF]

, 2017
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.

Can NT-proBNP Levels Be an Early Biomarker of Reduced Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction in Preterm Infants?

Children, 2022
Background/Objective: N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) is a cardiac natriuretic hormone that cardiomyocytes release in response to ventricular stretch.

Prognostic Value of Admission Peak NT-proBNP Combined with Culprit Plaque Types for Predicting Cardiovascular Risk in ST-Segment Elevated Myocardial Infarction: An Optical Coherence Tomography Study

Journal of Cardiovascular Development and Disease, 2022
Objective: Different culprit plaque phenotypes including plaque rupture (PR) and non-plaque rupture (NPR), and N-Terminal prohormone of brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) have been reported to influence clinical outcomes in patients with acute ...

Differentiation of Cardiac from Noncardiac Pleural Effusions in Cats using Second-Generation Quantitative and Point-of-Care NT-proBNP Measurements [PDF]

, 2016
BACKGROUND: Pleural effusion is a common cause of dyspnea in cats. N‐terminal pro‐B‐type natriuretic peptide (NT‐proBNP) measurement, using a first‐generation quantitative ELISA, in plasma and pleural fluid differentiates cardiac from noncardiac causes ...

Low NT-proBNP levels in overweight and obese patients do not rule out a diagnosis of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction [PDF]

, 2018
Background Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is a heterogeneous syndrome that presents clinicians with a diagnostic challenge. The use of natriuretic peptides to exclude a diagnosis of HFpEF has been proposed.
