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 کاملIntra-Arterial Atrial Natriuretic Peptide in Patients With Heart Failure
It has been shown that renal responses to atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) are markedly attenuated in patients with heart failure. This study aimed to determine if vasodilative response to ANP is altered in patients with heart failure. In patients with heart failure (n=7) and age-matched normal subjects (n=7), forearm blood flow was measured using a strain-gauge plethysmograph during intra-arte...
متن کاملRetrospective look at change in brain natriuretic peptide values in ambulatory patients with chronic heart failure.
BACKGROUND There is significant interest in the role of B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) guided therapy for outpatient congestive heart failure (CHF) patients. The objective of this study was to see if the percentage change in BNP levels can predict CHF hospitalisations or death. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed the records of CHF patients who had BNP levels drawn on two clinic visits. Pat...
متن کاملPlasma B-type natriuretic peptide levels in ambulatory patients with established chronic symptomatic systolic heart failure.
BACKGROUND The diagnostic and prognostic values of plasma B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) testing are established. However, the range of plasma BNP levels present in the setting of chronic, stable systolic heart failure (HF) is unclear. METHODS AND RESULTS We followed up 558 consecutive ambulatory patients with chronic, stable systolic HF (left ventricular ejection fraction <50%) treated at ...
متن کاملB-Type Natriuretic Peptide Predicts Sudden Death in Patients With Chronic Heart Failure
Background—Given the high incidence of sudden death in patients with chronic heart failure (CHF) and the efficacy of implantable cardioverter-defibrillators, an appropriate tool for the prediction of sudden death is desirable. B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) has prognostic significance in CHF, and the stimuli for its production cause electrophysiological abnormalities. This study tests BNP lev...
