An assay measuring N-terminal pro-BNP, or NT-proBNP, is more sensitive to detect heart failure and used in many institutions. The levels of BNP and NT-proBNP are essentially the same in normal ...

circulatory system A phase 2 trial of the drug vericiguat did not show a statistically significant reduction of N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) levels in patients with worsening ...

This prospective study investigates whether amino terminal proB-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) levels are elevated in neonates with congenital heart defect (CHD). NT-proBNP levels in the ...

MRI protocol has been described in an earlier study. 3 In addition to that study, we also measured left atrial (LA) size. We used areas instead of volumes for atrial indices, because the determination ...

The use of BNP/NT-proBNP levels to guide HF therapy has also been studied extensively in the last decade. A series of studies have tested whether using plasma BNP or NT-proBNP as a target to guide ...

Aim: To examine the effects of sinus rhythm (SR) restoration on N-Terminal pro-BNP (NTP-BNP) in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). Methods: Subjects with paroxysmal and persistent AF and absence ...

Evaluation of Microtubule-Associated Protein-Tau Expression As a Prognostic and Predictive Marker in the NSABP-B 28 Randomized Clinical Trial Serum samples were obtained and cardiac ultrasound studies ...

ANP, BNP, and CNP are proving to be reliable biomarkers for a variety of conditions. Natriuretic peptides mainly consist of atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP), brain natriuretic peptide (BNP), and ...

B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphomas in childhood: 20 years experience in a single institution. Pre- and postsupp Se levels in Se supp ats with L- Se and H- Pro-BNP levels ± CF. n=8 Pre-suplementation levels ...

B-type natriuretic peptide is released by cardiac myocytes in response to wall stretch. There are many hemodynamic effects of BNP which are beneficial in the setting of decompensated congestive heart ...
