Cocoa flavanols reduce N‐terminal pro‐B‐type natriuretic peptide in patients with chronic heart failure
AIMS Poor prognosis in chronic heart failure (HF) is linked to endothelial dysfunction for which there is no specific treatment currently available. Previous studies have shown reproducible improvements in endothelial function with cocoa flavanols, but the clinical benefit of this effect in chronic HF has yet to be determined. Therefore, the aim of this study was to assess the potential therape...
متن کاملB-type natriuretic peptide versus amino terminal pro-B type natriuretic peptide: selecting the optimal heart failure marker in patients with impaired kidney function
BACKGROUND The effect of impaired kidney function on B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) and N-terminal proBNP (NT-proBNP) is vague. This study was performed to examine the effect of kidney dysfunction on the afore-mentioned markers and determine appropriate cutoffs for systolic heart failure (SHF). METHODS In this cross sectional study adults with estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) <60...
متن کاملHead to head comparison of N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide and B-type natriuretic peptide in patients with/without left ventricular systolic dysfunction.
BACKGROUND Human pro-B-type natriuretic peptide is cleaved into the active B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) and the inactive fragment NT-proBNP. It is unclear if, similar to BNP, NT-proBNP can be used as a marker of impaired left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction (EF). This study evaluated the analytical performance of both assays to detect LV systolic dysfunction. METHODS In 72 patients wit...
متن کاملComparison of midregional pro-atrial natriuretic peptide with N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide in predicting survival in patients with chronic heart failure.
OBJECTIVES Our aim was assess the prognostic value of midregional pro-atrial natriuretic peptide (MR-proANP) using a new immunoassay in patients with chronic heart failure (HF). BACKGROUND Assessment of natriuretic peptides represents a useful addition in establishing the diagnosis of chronic HF. Their plasma values are powerful predictors of survival in chronic HF. METHODS We assessed MR-p...
متن کاملLevels of B-type natriuretic peptide in chronic heart failure patients with and without diabetes mellitus
The current study aimed to observe the value of B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) in chronic heart failure (CHF) patients with and without diabetes mellitus (DM). The study consisted of 559 CHF patients, including 276 patients with coronary heart disease, 234 with hypertensive heart disease and 49 with dilated cardiomyopathy. The subjects were divided into non-DM and DM groups which included 384...
