Plasma brain natriuretic peptide and N-terminal proatrial natriuretic peptide levels in obese patients: a cause or result of hypertension?
Proatrial Natriuretic Peptide Levels in Obese Patients: A Cause or Result of Hypertension? To the Editor: We read with great interest the paper by Wang et al1 indicating that obese subjects had lower brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) and N-terminal proatrial natriuretic peptide (N-terminal proANP) levels than did lean subjects in a large sample population of the Framingham Heart Study. They specu...
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 کاملEvaluation of Brain Natriuretic Peptide plasma levels in children with Congenital Heart Diseases
ObjectiveThis study aimed to assess Brain Natriuretic Peptide in early diagnose of cardiac function in children with Congenital Heart Diseases.MethodologyThis study was performed on children with CHD and healthy. Severity of heart failure modified Ross classification system was used for grouping patients in four classes. For all participants, height, weight and head circumference were measured....
متن کاملبررسی ارتباط سطح سرمی N-terminal Pro-brain Natriuretic Peptide و شدت پرهاکلامپسی
Background and purpose: Preeclampsia is a serious condition in pregnancy. Previous studies have shown that NT-pro BNP level is higher in preeclamptic patients than that in pregnant women with normal blood pressure. Severity of preeclampsia is one of the critical factors in managing patients, so, this study aimed at investigating the relationship between the level of NT-pro BNP and severity of ...
