چکیده
Background. In myocardial infarction patients, heart rate-adjusted QT interval (QT), an electrocardiographic indicator of sympathetic balance, is prognostic for survival. Methods and Results. In a 28-year follow-up, the association between QT, and all-cause, cardiovascular, and ischemic heart disease mortality was studied in a population of 3,091 apparently healthy Dutch civil servants and their spouses, aged 40-65 years, who participated in a medical examination during 1953-1954. Moderate (QTc, 420-440 msec) and extensive (QTc, more than 440 msec) QTc prolongations significantly predict all-cause mortality during the first 15 years among men (adjusted respective relative risks [RRs], 1.5 and 1.7) and among

متن کاملN-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) serum concentrations in apparently healthy Bosnian women.
Brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) is a cardiac hormone secreted predominantly from the ventricles. This hormone is produced as pre-prohormone BNP (pro BNP), than cleaved by corine to biologically active 32-aminoacid BNP and non-biologically active N-terminal-pro brain natriuretic peptide (NTproBNP). NTproBNP has been found to be a useful marker for the diagnosis of heart failure and left ventricu...
