The prognostic value of brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) measurement in patients with acute heart failure is not well understood. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between the BNP level and mortality and readmission for acute heart failure. We studied 569 consecutive patients who were admitted with a diagnosis of acute heart failure. The BNP level was measured after the p...
BACKGROUND Heart failure in women increases around the time of menopause when high-fat diets may result in obesity. The heart produces brain natriuretic peptide (BNP), also known as B-type natriuretic peptide. This aims of this study were to assess cardiac hypertrophy and BNP levels in ovariectomized rats fed a high-fat diet. MATERIAL AND METHODS Forty-eight female Wistar rats were divided into...
BACKGROUND The authors recently reported that urinary 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine (U8-OHdG) derived from cardiac tissue reflects clinical status and cardiac dysfunction severity in patients with chronic heart failure (CHF). The aim of the present study was to investigate whether U8-OHdG levels can accurately predict cardiac events in CHF patients and their response to β-blocker treatment. MET...
Brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) levels are simple and objective measures of cardiac function. These measurements can be used to diagnose heart failure, including diastolic dysfunction, and using them has been shown to save money in the emergency department setting. The high negative predictive value of BNP tests is particularly helpful for ruling out heart failure. Treatment with angiotensin-co...
OBJECTIVE Brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) is a peptide, which has recently been used in the differential diagnosis and follow-up of patients with heart failure. Our aim in the present prospective and diagnostic designed study is to investigate the role of BNP in determining the etiology of dyspnea and to evaluate its relation with newer echocardiographic parameters. METHODS Thirty-four patien...
BACKGROUND To study the longitudinal variations of plasma B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) with reference to left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) during and after chemotherapy with cardiotoxic drugs. PATIENTS AND METHODS We prospectively measured plasma BNP using an immunoradiometric assay in 12 anthracycline-treated breast cancer patients monitored for a mean time of 880+/-293 days (pil...
BACKGROUND This study aimed to explore the feasibility of guiding the application of metoprolol succinate in patients with moderate to severe heart failure (HF) through monitoring plasma brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) levels. METHODS A total of 195 patients with moderate to severe HF (NYHA Functional Class III to IV) were selected and randomized into two groups: an observation group and a BN...
BACKGROUND Plasma B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) is used as a diagnostic marker of cardiovascular diseases. BNP is secreted mainly from the myocardium and has been detected by immunoreactivity in brain and cerebral arteries. The aim of our study was to investigate plasma BNP in patients with acute cerebral infarction according to infarction subtype and infarction volume. METHODS We studied ...
conclusions the hormonal levels were low in patients with idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy. however, the prognostic significance of different hormonal deficiencies was not clear in our study populations who were receiving standard therapies for heart failure and had a relatively stable clinical condition. results except for testosterone level, the levels of gh, igf-1, t3, and t4 concentrations...
BACKGROUND Elevated plasma B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) levels and their association with heart failure have been reported in subjects with acute exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD). PURPOSE To examine and compare plasma BNP levels and diastolic and systolic dysfunction in subjects with AECOPD and stable chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). METHODS I...
