Unlike atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP), BNP is largely derived from the ventricles. In adults plasma BNP levels, like ANP, respond to changes in blood volume and levels of 3,4-9.0 pg/ml have been ...

Heart failure (HF) is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Testing for natriuretic peptide markers, such as B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) or N-terminal proBNP (NT-proBNP), has ...

N-terminal probrain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP ... study population was receiving medication for hypertension. Serum levels of NT-proBNP were measured both before and after dialysis.

A recent groundbreaking study found that NT-proBNP levels are associated with an increased risk of atrial fibrillation in ...

The authors found that female gender, in addition to diastolic function, is an independent predictor of brain natriuretic peptide levels in the elderly without systolic ventricular dysfunction.

Reduction in size of an abdominal arteriovenous malformation stops the short-circuiting of the blood supply so the heart ...

It has been shown that natriuretic peptide levels are higher following transplantation – and never return to normal. Although some of the elevation is probably a response to the trauma of ...

NT-proBNP levels linked to AF risk, enhancing prediction models and aiding early detection in clinical practice.

The following is a summary of “Effect of disopyramide therapy on functional capacity improvement in patients with obstructive ...
