N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide and its relationship with cardiac function in adults with congenital heart disease.
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to determine the value of N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) in adults with congenital heart disease (CHD) and investigate its relationship with ventricular function and exercise capacity. BACKGROUND NT-proBNP may detect early deterioration in cardiac function. METHODS In this cross-sectional study, extensive echocardiography, exercise...
متن کاملRelation of N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide with diastolic function in hypertensive heart disease.
BACKGROUND Elevated natriuretic peptide levels in asymptomatic individuals without heart failure are associated with increased risk of adverse cardiovascular outcomes and may reflect subclinical cardiac dysfunction. METHODS In a sample of 313 asymptomatic individuals (51% women, mean age 61 years) with hypertension and diastolic dysfunction, we examined the association of plasma N-terminal pr...
متن کاملDiagnostic Value of N Terminal Pro B Type Natriuretic Peptide (NT-pro BNP) in Cardiac Involvement in Patients with Beta- Thalassemia
Background Heart failure is a major cause of death in thalassemia. The study aimed to determine the diagnostic value of N Terminal Pro B Type Natriuretic Peptide (NT-pro BNP), to early diagnose the cardiac involvement in beta- thalassemia major patients. Materials and Methods 80 thalassemia patients aged 7 to 18 years old (patients group), and 80 healthy age and gender matched controls were ...
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 کاملN-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide predicts cardiovascular complications in pregnant women with congenital heart disease.
AIMS In women with congenital heart disease (CHD), cardiovascular complications during pregnancy are common, but the risk assessment of these patients remains difficult. This study sought to determine the independent role of N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) levels in addition to other parameters in predicting adverse cardiovascular events during pregnancy in women with CHD....
