Comparison between Brain Natriuretic Peptide and Calcitonin Gene Related Peptide in Children with Dilated Cardiomyopathy
Background: Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is revealed with the left ventricular dilatation and systolic dysfunction. This study was performed to determine the level of Calcitonin Gene Related Peptide (CGRP) and Brain Natriuretic Peptide (BNP) in children with dilated cardiomyopathy and controls and comparison of these two biomarkers in patients. Materials and Methods: This case-control study was...
متن کاملMRI assessment of myocardial global function by tei index - a comparison to echocardiographic tei index
Introduction The Tei index is an echocardiographic measure of global ventricular function, calculated as ((isovolumic contraction time) + (isovolumic relaxation time)) / (ejection time). This may be calculated as ((time of atrioventricular valve closure) (time of arterial valve closure)) / (time of arterial valve closure). Used as a measure of systolic as well as diastolic function, the Tei ind...
متن کاملIncreased plasma brain natriuretic peptide level as a guide for silent myocardial ischemia in patients with non-obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
OBJECTIVES We measured plasma atrial/brain natriuretic peptide (ANP/BNP) levels at rest and during exercise and correlated the results with various clinical findings, particularly with myocardial ischemia, in asymptomatic hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). BACKGROUND In patients with HCM, ANP and BNP levels are elevated and exercise-induced myocardial ischemia is common. However, it has not y...

significantly higher proportion of IHIS in ICA plaques ipsilateral to the side of infarction in cryptogenic stroke patients (p <0.001), but not in patients with strokes from cardioembolism (p 1⁄4 0.76) or smallvessel occlusion (p 1⁄4 0.49). Our results suggest that some strokes from largeartery atherosclerosis are currently not being recognized as such because the plaque causes <50% stenosis. O...
