NTpro-BNP – diagnostic significance and recommended clinical applications
نویسنده
چکیده
Brain natriuretic peptides are elevated in circulation in proportion to a decrease in myocardial function. They have been uniformly shown to have excellent negative predictive value in differential diagnosis of dyspnoea. They can also be used in diagnosing heart failure and have been recently shown as possible prognostic markers in acute coronary syndrome and pulmonary embolism. It is important to note that brain natriuretic peptide values rise with age and are inversely proportional to body mass index and glomerular filtration rate.

Persistent high NTpro-BNP concentration as a negative prognostic factor in patients with decompensated heart failure.
INTRODUCTION Monitoring of natriuretic peptide concentration may be useful for the identification of high-risk patients presenting with decompensated chronic heart failure (CHF). AIM Assessment of the predicting value of a significant decrease (by > or =20% vs. baseline) of N-terminal proBNP (NTpro-BNP, ROCHE) concentration during hospitalisation in patients with decompensated CHF. METHODS ...

Introduction & Objective: Cardiovascular diseases are the main cause of death in all countries in the recent century and congestive heart failure (CHF) is the reason of death in most pa-tients . The most common causes of CHF are ischemic heart disease, myopathies , valvular disease and hypertension. Mortality reduction is the aim in CHF treatment. Combination of glucose-insulin-potassium (GIK...
متن کاملB-type natriuretic peptide and N-terminal pro-BNP in the acute phase of Kawasaki disease.
BACKGROUND This study was undertaken to identify factors correlating with plasma levels of B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) and its N-terminal portion (NTpro BNP) in the acute phase of Kawasaki disease (KD). METHODS This study included 91 patients with KD treated at a hospital affiliated to Hamamatsu University School of Medicine between October 2003 and June 2011. We quantified BNP and NT-pr...
متن کاملRelationship between the red blood cell distribution width and risk of acute myocardial infarction.
AIMS Recently, a number of studies have shown an increased red blood cell distribution width (RDW) to be a strong and independent predictor of the prognosis of coronary artery disease. The aim of this study was to investigate the underlying mechanisms responsible for the relationship between the RDW and a poor prognosis of coronary artery disease. METHODS Four hundred and twenty-four patients...
متن کاملClinical Significance of B-type Natriuretic Peptide in Heart Failure
Biochemical tests to detect B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) or N-terminal pro-brain BNP (NT-proBNP) are useful diagnostic methods for patients with possible HF. These tests are valuable prognostic predictors for the entire spectrum of HF disease severity. Therefore, the measurements of BNP or NT-proBNP taken along with conventional clinical assessments may assist clinicians in deciding treatme...
