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 کاملB-type natriuretic peptides for the diagnosis of congestive heart failure in dyspneic oldest-old patients.
OBJECTIVES To evaluate the accuracy of B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) and amino-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) for the diagnosis of congestive heart failure (CHF) in dyspneic patients aged >or=85 years admitted to the Emergency Department (ED), and to define threshold values in this oldest-old population. DESIGN AND METHODS This study involved 210 oldest-old patients, an...
متن کاملComparison of brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) and amino-terminal ProBNP for early diagnosis of heart failure.
BACKGROUND We compared the diagnostic accuracy of brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) and amino-terminal proBNP (NT-proBNP) for diagnosis of preclinical and mild heart failure (HF). METHODS We assayed plasma NT-proBNP and BNP in 182 healthy controls and in a prospective cohort of 820 HF patients divided according to the American Heart Association/American College of Cardiology classification. The...
متن کاملA novel discharge risk model for patients hospitalised for acute decompensated heart failure incorporating N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide levels: a European coLlaboration on Acute decompeNsated Heart Failure: ELAN-HF Score.
BACKGROUND Models to stratify risk for patients hospitalised for acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF) do not include the change in N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) levels during hospitalisation. OBJECTIVE The aim of our study was to develop a simple yet robust discharge prognostication score including NT-proBNP for this notorious high-risk population. DESIGN Individ...
