Differences in NT‐proBNP Response and Prognosis in Men and Women With Heart Failure With Reduced Ejection Fraction

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2021
Background NT‐proBNP (N‐terminal pro‐B‐type natriuretic peptide) is a prognostic biomarker in heart failure (HF) with reduced ejection fraction. However, it is unclear whether there is a sex difference in NT‐proBNP response and whether the therapeutic ...

N-terminal prohormone brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) as a noninvasive marker for restrictive syndromes [PDF]

, 2008
Constrictive pericarditis (CP) and restrictive cardiomyopathy share many similarities in both their clinical and hemodynamic characteristics and N-terminal prohormone brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) is a sensitive marker of cardiac diastolic ...

Isovolumic relaxation strain imaging is an accurate and sensitive approach for detection of active diastolic dysfunction: A preclinical study

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
A modified approach was developed to accurately identify the isovolumetric relaxation time (IVRT) using an apical three‐chamber view. Compared with conventional echocardiography, isovolumic relaxation strain imaging (IVSI) helps to detect the earlier alternations of diastolic function in transverse aortic constriction (TAC) mice.

Body mass index modifies the major adverse cardiovascular and cerebral events risk of NT-proBNP in patients with acute coronary syndrome

Diabetology & Metabolic Syndrome
Background Little is known about the relationship between body mass index (BMI) and the prognostic value of N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS).

Prognostic utility of N-terminal pro B-type natriuretic peptide ratio in mixed aortic valve disease

Open Heart, 2023
Objective We aimed to assess the incremental prognostic value of N-terminal-pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (Nt-proBNP) for risk stratification in mixed aortic valve disease (MAVD) patients.Methods We included 556 (73±12 years, 37% women) consecutive ...

Serum NT-ProBNP potential marker of cirrhotic cardiomyopathy

Folia Medica, 2022
Introduction: Based on many previous studies, liver cirrhosis is traditionally associated with cardiac dysfunction. The main clinical features of cirrhotic cardiomyopathy include attenuated systolic contractility in response to physiologic or pharmacologic strain, diastolic dysfunction, electrical conductance abnormalities, and chronotropic ...

Does Admission NT-ProBNP Increase the Prognostic Accuracy of GRACE Risk Score in the Prediction of Short-Term Mortality After Acute Coronary Syndromes? [PDF]

, 2009
BACKGROUND: NT-proBNP has prognostic implications in heart failure. In acute coronary syndromes (ACS) setting, the prognostic significance of NT-proBNP is being sought.

Long‐Term Outcomes of Reduced Intensity Conditioning Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation for Systemic Sclerosis Patients with Impaired Cardiac Function

Arthritis &Rheumatology, Accepted Article.
Objective High intensity conditioning autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (AHSCT) is standard of care for patients with advanced SSc. The role of reduced intensity conditioning (RIC) prior to AHSCT in this population remains unclear. We conducted this study to determine the long‐term outcomes of RIC AHSCT in SSc patients with cardiac ...

Amino-Terminal Pro-Brain Natriuretic Peptid in Prediction of Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction

Biomolecules & Biomedicine, 2008
We aimed to evaluate levels of amino-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptid (NT-proBNP) in prediction of left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) in heart failure patients.

The effects of short-term omission of daily medication on the pathophysiology of heart failure [PDF]

, 2016
Aims Pharmacological therapies for heart failure (HF) aim to improve congestion, symptoms, and prognosis. Failing to take medication is a potential cause of worsening HF.
