N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) serum concentrations in apparently healthy Bosnian women.
Brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) is a cardiac hormone secreted predominantly from the ventricles. This hormone is produced as pre-prohormone BNP (pro BNP), than cleaved by corine to biologically active 32-aminoacid BNP and non-biologically active N-terminal-pro brain natriuretic peptide (NTproBNP). NTproBNP has been found to be a useful marker for the diagnosis of heart failure and left ventricu...
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 کاملAn amyloidogenic determinant in N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP): Implications for cardiac amyloidoses.
Deposition of amyloid in the atria (isolated atrial/cardiac amyloid) is fairly common in the aging heart. It consists of amyloid fibrils, formed both by atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) and brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) and the precursor molecule of ANP, proANP. This study examines whether amyloidogenic determinants (short peptides/amyloid forming favoring regions) exist in the sequence of NT...

متن کاملEvaluation of Serum NT-Pro Brain Natriuretic Peptide Levels in Neonates with Respiratory Distress
Background Respiratory Distress (RD) is a life-threatening respiratory failure. This study aimed to evaluate the diagnostic value of N-terminal prohormone of brain natriuretic peptide (NT-pro-BNP) in distinguishing respiratory and heart diseases in neonates. Materials and Methods Hundred fifty neonates aged 2-3 days randomly collected from those who hospitalized in the related ward of the Ali ...
