B-type natriuretic peptide in high-risk major surgery patients.
criterion for assessment of observed variability. Given an inherent variability of +20% for each method under comparison, the combined variability (i.e. limits of agreement) should not exceed +30% of the mean SVV. Applying these strict criteria to the data, agreement of methods studied by the authors was unacceptable. Secondly, the authors compared SV derived from different methods at specified...
متن کاملB-type natriuretic peptide, a marker of asymptomatic left ventricular dysfunction in type 2 diabetic patients.
AIM To evaluate BNP in assessing LV functions in asymptomatic type 2 diabetic patients. METHODS BNP was measured in 91 consecutive patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. According to Doppler echocardiography, patients were first separated into three categories: normal LV function, or isolated diastolic or systolic LV dysfunction. As some patients with diastolic dysfunction were treated for h...
متن کاملPrognostic value of plasma B-type natriuretic peptide levels after exercise in patients with severe asymptomatic aortic stenosis.
BACKGROUND Exercise-stress echocardiography is useful in management and risk stratification of patients with asymptomatic aortic stenosis (AS). Resting B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) level is associated with increased risk of adverse events. The incremental prognostic value of BNP response during exercise is unknown. Objective The purpose of this study was to assess the usefulness of plasma l...
متن کاملB-type natriuretic peptide serum levels in acute heart failure.
We read with great interest the article by Cowie et al.1 on clinical applications of the assessment of B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP). This is an important subject and the article also helps to clarify which areas of BNP research need more attention. The authors conclude that in new patients presenting to emergency services with dyspnoea, if the BNP level is <100 pg/mL, then heart failure is ...
متن کاملNatriuretic Peptide Type-B Gene
The structure of the mouse natriuretic peptide type-B (BNP) gene was determined by isolating and sequencing genomic clones. The mouse BNP gene was structurally similar to other natriuretic peptide genes and comprised three exons and two introns. Expression of the mouse BNP gene was found only in cardiac tissue as determined by ribonuclease protection analyses. Initiation of transcription was 31...
