N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide in patients with acute pulmonary embolism.
Plasma brain natriuretic peptide (BNP), released from myocytes of ventricles upon stretch, has been reported to differentiate pulmonary from cardiac dyspnoea. Limited data have shown elevated plasma BNP levels in acute pulmonary embolism (APE), frequently accompanied by dyspnoea and right ventricular (RV) dysfunction. The aim of this study was to assess plasma N-terminal proBNP (NT-proBNP) in A...
متن کاملPrognostic value of brain natriuretic peptide in acute pulmonary embolism
INTRODUCTION The relationship between brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) increase in acute pulmonary embolism (PE) and the increase in mortality and morbidity has frequently been suggested in small studies but its global prognostic performance remains largely undefined. We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis of data to examine the prognostic value of elevated BNP for short-term all-cau...
متن کاملPrognostic role of brain natriuretic peptide in acute pulmonary embolism.
BACKGROUND Rapid, noninvasive, and accurate prognostic assessment with an inexpensive cardiac biomarker is an appealing approach for patients with acute pulmonary embolism (PE). METHODS AND RESULTS We measured at the time of admission the plasma level of plasma brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) to determine its utility in prognosticating the clinical course of 73 consecutive patients with acute...
متن کاملLow pro-brain natriuretic peptide levels predict benign clinical outcome in acute pulmonary embolism.
BACKGROUND The role of pro-brain natriuretic peptide (proBNP) for the prediction of clinical outcome has not been examined in patients with acute pulmonary embolism (PE). METHODS AND RESULTS ProBNP levels were measured in 73 patients with acute PE within 4 hours of admission. Adverse clinical outcome was defined as in-hospital death or the need for at least 1 of the following: cardiopulmonary...
متن کاملPrognostic Value of N-Terminal Pro-Brain Natriuretic Peptide in Acute Pulmonary Embolism
Patients with pulmonary embolism (PE) have a high risk of death and it is important to recognize factors associated with high mortality. N-Terminal pro-Brain Natriuretic Peptide (NT-pro BNP) has recently emerged as a promising biomarker for risk assessment in acute pulmonary embolism (PE). The aim of this study is to detect the in hospital prognostic value of NT-pro BNP in patients with acute (...
