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 ...

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 ...

sST2 Predicts Outcome in Chronic Heart Failure Beyond NT-proBNP and High-Sensitivity Troponin T.

Journal of the American College of Cardiology, 2018
BACKGROUND Soluble suppression of tumorigenesis-2 (sST2) is a biomarker related to inflammation and fibrosis. OBJECTIVES This study assessed the independent prognostic value of sST2 in chronic heart failure (HF).

Comprehensive Nursing Management of Anticoagulation and Heart Failure Surveillance in a Chinese Patient With Mirror‐Image Dextrocardia Post‐MitraClip Surgery: A First Case Report

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Mitral regurgitation (MR) is the valent type of valvular heart disease, caused by primary leaflet lesions or annular dilatation secondary to left ventricular dysfunction. It can lead to a series of complications such as volume overload, exacerbated pulmonary congestion, and heart failure, significantly impacting patient prognosis ...

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.

Variability in ACT Response to Standard UFH Bolus During PCI: A Prospective Study on Determinants of Subtherapeutic Anticoagulation

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Unfractionated heparin (UFH) remains the standard anticoagulant during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), with guidelines recommending a target activated clotting time (ACT) of ≥250 s. However, despite receiving a standardized bolus dose, many patients fail to achieve this target.

NT-proBNP Goal Achievement Is Associated With Significant Reverse Remodeling and Improved Clinical Outcomes in HFrEF.

JACC. Heart failure, 2019
OBJECTIVES This study aims to assess the association between biomarker-guided therapy and left ventricular (LV) remodeling. BACKGROUND In patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF), it is unclear if lowering natriuretic peptides

Progression and prognostic significance of electrocardiographic findings in patients with cardiac amyloidosis

ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 809-818, April 2025.
Abstract Aims This study aimed to evaluate the change of the main electrocardiographic (ECG) characteristics and their prognostic role across the main subtypes of cardiac amyloidosis [light‐chain amyloidosis (AL) and hereditary (ATTRv) and wild‐type transthyretin amyloidosis (ATTRwt)].
