B-type natriuretic peptides and ejection fraction for prognosis after myocardial infarction.
BACKGROUND A recent landmark report has demonstrated that plasma B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) measured in acute coronary syndromes independently predicts mortality, heart failure, and new myocardial infarction. After acute cardiac injury, left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) is also of prognostic significance and plays a major role in determining the therapeutic response. METHODS AND...
متن کاملB-type natriuretic peptide and prognosis in heart failure patients with preserved and reduced ejection fraction.
OBJECTIVES This study sought to determine the prognostic value of B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) in patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFPEF), in comparison to data in HF patients with reduced left ventricular (LV) EF (≤40%). BACKGROUND Management of patients with HFPEF is difficult. BNP is a useful biomarker in patients with reduced LVEF, but data in HFPEF are sc...
متن کاملPatients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction and low levels of natriuretic peptides.
AIMS Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is common and its management remains difficult. B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) levels are used to diagnose heart failure, and as an entry criterion for inclusion into trials. We investigated a population of HFpEF patients who had been randomised into a study based on clinical parameters, and compared those with low BNP levels to thos...
متن کاملPrognostic role of troponin and natriuretic peptides as biomarkers for deterioration of left ventricular ejection fraction after chemotherapy
Cardiotoxicity due to anthracyclines, trastuzumab and other potential cardiotoxic drugs is still a problem of modern chemotherapy. For years researchers have tried to find biological markers that can predict changes in the heart. The most thoroughly tested markers are troponin and natriuretic peptides. Some studies have proven that these markers can indeed be useful. In studies which have shown...
متن کاملPrognosis for patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction. Is it the same as low ejection fraction?
1885-5857/$ – see front matter 2011 Sociedad Esp doi:10.1016/j.rec.2011.05.008 Heart failure (HF) is a significant and increasing global public health problem. In the United States, hospital admissions for a principal diagnosis of HF increased from 399 000 in 1979 to 1 093 000 in 2003. The diagnosis of HF continues to be associated with poor quality of life, highmorbidity, and highmortality des...
