Diagnostic Value of NT-pro BNP Biomarker and Echocardiography in Cardiac Involvements in Beta-thalassemia Patients
Background N-terminal pro–B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) is a marker to evaluate the cardiac involvement in thalassemia. We aimed to evaluate conventional and tissue Doppler echocardiography findings and its relation to plasma NT-pro BNP, Ferritin and Iron levels in beta-thalassemia patients. Materials and Methods This study performed on 164 participants equal of major beta- thalassemi...
متن کاملIs NT-pro-BNP predictive of atrial fibrillation in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass surgery?
I am very glad to see that Dr Shih et al. reportedmy case of haemomediastinum caused by a ruptured bronchial artery aneurysm [1]. This is one of the bronchial arterial embolisation cases that I performed during October 2006. However, I have to point out a misinterpretation of Fig. 1 of this article [1]. The location the arrow is pointing to is actually the superior vena cava (SVC) with streak a...
متن کاملUsefulness of NT-pro BNP monitoring to identify echocardiographic responders following cardiac resynchronization therapy
BACKGROUND Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) improves left ventricular (LV) volumes, mitral regurgitation (MR) severity and symptoms of patients with heart failure (HF). However, >or= 30% of patients have no significant clinical or echocardiographic improvement following CRT. Reverse remodeling after CRT correlates with improved clinical outcomes. We hypothesized that in NT-pro BNP monito...
متن کاملPrediction of Perioperative Cardiac Events through Preoperative NT-pro-BNP and cTnI after Emergent Non-Cardiac Surgery in Elderly Patients
OBJECTIVES Clinical risk stratification has an important function in preoperative evaluation of patients at risk for cardiac events prior to non-cardiac surgery. The aim of this study was to determine whether the combined measurement of pre-operative N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-pro-BNP) and cardiac troponin I (cTnI) could provide useful prognostic information about postoperativ...
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 ...
