B-type natriuretic peptide and artery stiffness.
A rteries stiffen with age, largely as a consequence of structural alteration of the collagen and elastin content of the artery wall. Circulating B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP), secreted predominantly from the heart, also increases with age, probably as a consequence of left ventricular wall stress induced by a rise in impedance to ejection or structural changes in the myocardium including ag...
متن کاملPercutaneous coronary revascularization reduces plasma N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide concentration in stable coronary artery disease.
OBJECTIVES The purpose of this work was to assess the effect of percutaneous coronary revascularization (PCR) on plasma N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) concentration. BACKGROUND Left ventricular (LV) dysfunction is associated with increased plasma natriuretic peptide concentrations. The effect of ischemia resolution on plasma natriuretic peptide is not known. METHODS T...
متن کاملCoronary angiography transiently increases plasma pro-B-type natriuretic peptide.
AIMS Increased plasma concentrations of B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) and its precursor (proBNP) provide important prognostic information in patients presenting with acute coronary syndromes. Although a majority of these patients undergo early invasive assessment, the effects of coronary angiography per se on plasma BNP and proBNP concentrations are not known. We therefore sought to determin...
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...
