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 ...
The results of several trials demonstrate that natriuretic peptides, including BNP and NT-proBNP, are useful for diagnosis and risk stratification of patients with HF. [23] As a consequence ...
Nesiritide is a recombinant form of B-type natriuretic peptide and is used for the treatment of acute decompensated heart failure. Nesiritide has potent vasodilatory properties and reduces ...
It is released in response to myocyte stretch specifically in the atrium which occur in states of decompensated congestive heart failure. Atrial natriuretic peptide has vasodilating properties in ...
ROACH: My husband is 73 and was diagnosed with heart failure and a severely dilated left ventricle. At the time, he was pumping 10 liters per minute. He had a proBNP natriuretic peptide level over ...
The following is a summary of “Impact of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors on catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation in heart failure patients without type-2 diabetes,” published in the ...
