Synergistic Utility of Brain Natriuretic Peptide and Left Ventricular Strain in Patients With Significant Aortic Stenosis.
BACKGROUND In aortic stenosis (AS), symptoms and left ventricular (LV) dysfunction represent a later disease state, and objective parameters that identify incipient LV dysfunction are needed. We sought to determine prognostic utility of brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) and left ventricular global longitudinal strain (LV-GLS) in patients with aortic valve area <1.3 cm(2). METHODS AND RESULTS Fi...
متن کاملValvuloarterial impedance, but not aortic stenosis severity, predicts syncope in patients with aortic stenosis.
BACKGROUND The presence of syncope in patients with aortic valve stenosis (AS) predicts a grave prognosis. However, the evaluation of AS severity has been limited to valve-specific factors such as aortic valve area and mean transaortic pressure gradient. Recently, valvuloarterial impedance (Zva) was proposed for the estimation of global left ventricular afterload. Therefore, because predictors ...
متن کاملEvaluation of Serum Levels of N-terminal Pro Brain Natriuretic Peptide and Atrial Natriuretic Peptide in Neonates with Respiratory Distress
Background: Acute respiratory distress (ARD) is a critical respiratory failure due to lung injury of neonates leading to the clinical appearance of poor lung compliance. The aimed of the study was to evaluate the diagnostic values in differentiating respiratory from heart diseases with using of N-terminal pro brain natriuretic peptide (NT-pro BNP) and Atrial natriuretic peptide(ANP) in neonates...
متن کاملUsefulness of serial brain natriuretic peptide measurements for managing aortic valve stenosis in pregnancy.
Among developed countries, valvular aortic stenosis (AS) in pregnant women is primarily due to a congenitally bicuspid aortic valve, which occurs in approximately 1% of the general adult population. Most asymptomatic patients and those with mild to moderate AS can be managed conservatively to full-term pregnancy. However, those with more severe AS with symptoms require more aggressive treatment...
متن کاملPre-operative N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide predicts outcome in type A aortic dissection.
BACKGROUND Acute Stanford type A aortic dissection (AAD) is associated with substantial perioperative mortality and morbidity. OBJECTIVE N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) is a prognostic biomarker of outcome in cardiovascular disease. Its predictive power in patients undergoing emergency surgery for acute type A aortic dissection is yet unknown. METHODS We prospectively m...
