چکیده
Reducing readmissions after hospitalisation for acute heart failure is the new challenge of these diseases, approaching 30% within 60 to 90 days of discharge. Congestion related to high ventricular filling pressures, reflected by the high levels of natriuretic peptides, is the main reason for heart failure readmission. Natriuretic peptide levels are a patent prognostic marker of cardiovascular event in chronic heart failure. Treshold values of BNP and NT-proBNP being respectively 125 and 1000 pg/mL. Optimizing treatment of heart failure by monitoring natriuretic peptides, including management of diuretic doses, remains matter of controversies.

The effect of concurrent aerobic-resistance training on NT-proBNP levels, blood pressure and body composition of patients with chronic heart failure
Background: Heart failure is associated with structural and functional changes of the heart and physical activity is a likely intervention to improve it. This study aimed at investigating the effect of concurrent aerobic-resistance exercise training on NT-proBNP levels, blood pressure and body composition in patients with chronic heart failure. Materials and Methods: In this clinical trial stud...
متن کاملEvaluation of Anthracycline Effects on NT-ProBNP Plasma Level in Children with Malignancy
Background: NT-proBNP is a marker that is released from ventricles in response to pressure and volume overload. Raised plasma level of NT-proBNP is seen in ventricular dysfunction, ventricular muscular mass reduction or ventricular ischemia. Anthracyclines are widely used in treatment of pediatric cancer but their use is associated with cardiotoxicity which increases mortality and morbidity. We...

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to investigate whether elevated asymmetrical dimethylorginine (ADMA) concentrations are associated with increased cardiovascular risk in chronic heart failure (HF) patients. METHODS AND RESULTS 253 patients with symptomatic chronic HF and impaired left ventricular function (median age 70 years, 202 males) were followed for a median of 14.2 months (inter...

OBJECTIVE This study was conducted to research the prognostic utility of N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP), compare the utility of the Seattle Heart Failure Score (SHFS) with NT-proBNP, develop a risk-evaluation model based on NT-proBNP, assess the associations of NT-proBNP with patient characteristics, and screen for decisive factors of NT-proBNP in Chinese elderly with chr...
متن کاملThe effect of amlodipine and sildenafil on the NT-proBNP level of patients with COPD-induced pulmonary hypertension.
Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is an important cause of heart failure in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The pro brain natriuretic peptide N-terminal (NT-proBNP) has been suggested as a noninvasive marker to evaluate ventricular function. However, there is no evidence to support the use of NT-proBNP in monitoring the benefits of vasodilators in COPD induced PH. Thus, we used NT-proBN...
