Clinical relevance of biological variation of B-type natriuretic peptide.
with increased concentrations of GAPDH mRNA. Because circulating GAPDH mRNA in cancer patients was thought to originate in apoptotic cancer cells (2, 5), the increased concentrations of GAPDH mRNA detected may be caused by apoptosis in the placental residue in our case. We conclude that real-time quantitative RT-PCR is a sensitive method to monitor changing mRNA concentrations resulting from ap...
متن کاملClinical and Biochemical Assessments of Circulating B-Type Natriuretic Peptide as a Useful Marker in Pediatric Cardiac Patients
Background Although the left ventricle is the major site of BNP secretion in response to cardiac pressure or volume overload, the myocytes of both atria and ventricles secrete B- type natriuretic peptide (BNP). This study aimed to assess and compare the plasma levels of BNP in common pediatric cardiac diseases to clarify its pathophysiological role and evaluate its po...

متن کاملClinical applications of B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) testing.
Many claims have been made in recent years regarding the utility of plasma B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) concentration measurements in the diagnosis, risk stratification and monitoring of patients with heart failure. This paper summarizes the current evidence and provides guidance for practising clinicians. Overall, plasma BNP testing appears to be of most value in the diagnostic arena, wher...

Anesthesiology, V 123 • No 2 246 August 2015 T HE heart is not only a pumping organ but also an endocrine organ. B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) is secreted primarily by cardiac ventricular myocytes in response to increased ventricular wall stress induced by volume expansion, pressure overload, or ischemia.1 BNP protein formation begins with intracellular translation into a large preprohormone...
