To BNP or not to BNP.
Heart failure remains a major medical and social challenge despite the extraordinary progress in its diagnosis and treatment during the last 20 years. As a matter of fact, social factors such as the ageing of the population and the increase in longevity, both attributable to new treatments, will contribute to increase the burden of heart failure in future years. More than ever, we are in need o...
متن کاملThe brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) precursor is the major immunoreactive form of BNP in patients with heart failure.
BACKGROUND Peptides derived from brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) precursor (proBNP), BNP, and the N-terminal fragment of proBNP (NT-proBNP) are used as biomarkers of heart failure. It remains unclear which forms of these peptides circulate in blood and which forms are measured by assays for these natriuretic peptides. METHODS To design assays for immunodetection of proBNP, NT-proBNP, and BNP,...
متن کاملDiagnostic Value of NT-pro BNP Biomarker and Echocardiography in Cardiac Involvements in Beta-thalassemia Patients
Background N-terminal pro–B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) is a marker to evaluate the cardiac involvement in thalassemia. We aimed to evaluate conventional and tissue Doppler echocardiography findings and its relation to plasma NT-pro BNP, Ferritin and Iron levels in beta-thalassemia patients. Materials and Methods This study performed on 164 participants equal of major beta- thalassemi...
متن کاملRole of BNP in patients with severe asymptomatic aortic stenosis.
Senile degenerative valvular aortic stenosis affects approximately 2% of the population over the age of 65. Aortic stenosis impedes left ventricular emptying and increases left ventricular wall stress, which leads to elevation of brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) levels. Aortic stenosis progresses slowly, allowing the left ventricle to develop concentric hypertrophy, which normalizes wall stress....
متن کاملSerum concentrations of BNP and ANP in patients with thyrotoxicosis.
Serum BNP (brain naturiuretic peptide) and ANP (atrial natriuretic peptide) levels are reportedly elevated in patients with thyrotoxicosis. The increases may not be due to thyrotoxicosis itself but to secondary cardiovascular changes such as chronic heart failure (HF) or atrial fibrillation (AF) which frequently accompany thyrotoxicosis. We measured serum ANP and BNP levels in 130 patients with...
