The use of NT-proBNP in clinical practice [PDF]

South African Family Practice, 2004
Early detection of heart failure and the accurate diagnosis of heart failure remains a huge clinical challenge to family practitioners. ECGs and chest x-rays merely serve as baseline investigations and the diagnosis is eventually only confirmed by a two-dimensional echocardiogram coupled with Doppler-flow studies.

Left ventricular diastolic dysfunction worsens prognosis in patients with heart failure due to dilated cardiomyopathy

ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 1183-1193, April 2025.
Abstract Aims The prognostic significance of left ventricular (LV) diastolic dysfunction (LVDD) severity in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) remains uncertain. This study aimed to evaluate the association of LVDD severity and elevated left atrial pressure (eLAP) with patient outcomes in stable, non‐acutely decompensated patients with DCM ...

Real‐world characteristics and treatment of cardiac transthyretin amyloidosis: A multicentre, observational study

ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 1203-1216, April 2025.
The 366 patients diagnosed with transthyretin amyloidosis cardiomyopathy (ATTR‐CM) were analyzed regarding their clinical characteristics in the first year after approval of tafamidis 61 mg for ATTR‐CM in Germany. Nearly two‐thirds of the patients were in an advanced disease stage and 64% met the key criteria of the “Transthyretin Amyloidosis ...

NT-proBNP LEVEL CHANGES AFTER COMBINATION THERAPY WITH BISOPROLOL AND ACE-INHIBITOR IN PATIENT WITH HEART FAILURE

Folia Medica Indonesiana, 2017
Heart failure (HF) is the final common stage of many diseases of the heart. NT-proBNP levels are increased in HF and correlate well with ventricular wall stress and severity of HF. Combination therapy with Bisoprolol and ACE-inhibitor decreases NT-proBNP

Sendaway capillary NT-proBNP in pulmonary hypertension

BMJ Open Respiratory Research
Background N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) is a biomarker of cardiac ventricular wall stress that is incorporated into pulmonary hypertension (PH) risk stratification models. Sendaway sampling may enable patients to perform NT-proBNP tests remotely.

eGFR slope as predictor of mortality in heart failure patients

ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 1217-1226, April 2025.
Abstract Aims Heart failure (HF) leads to an imbalance between heart and kidney function, resulting in poor outcomes. However, the prognostic significance of the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) trajectory in HF patients remains unclear. We analysed electronic health records (EHRs) of real‐world HF patients, assessing eGFR trajectories and ...

The relative and combined ability of stress hyperglycemia ratio and N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide to predict all-cause mortality in diabetic patients with multivessel coronary artery disease

Cardiovascular Diabetology
Background Stress hyperglycemia ratio (SHR) and N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) are independently associated with increased mortality risk in diabetic patients with coronary artery disease (CAD).

Comparative performance of risk prediction indices for mortality or readmission following heart failure hospitalization

ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 1227-1236, April 2025.
Comparative performance of 7 risk prediction indices in patients hospitalized for heart failure. In this cohort of 1206 patients, the LENT index offered the greatest discrimination, calibration, and overall accuracy in predicting 30‐day composite all‐cause mortality or readmission following hospitalization for heart failure.

Effect Of Demographic And Clinical Variables On Nt-Probnp

Pakistan Journal of Medicine and Dentistry, 2018
Background: A number of demographic and clinical variables have an effect on NT-proBNP, which has been used as a serological marker for evaluating cardiovascular disease. This study was done to evaluate the effect of these confounding variables on NT-
