An assay measuring N-terminal pro-BNP, or NT-proBNP, is more sensitive to detect heart failure and used in many institutions. The levels of BNP and NT-proBNP are essentially the same in normal ...

This prospective study investigates whether amino terminal proB-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) levels are elevated in neonates with congenital heart defect (CHD). NT-proBNP levels in the ...

The study protocol was approved by the Ethics Committee of the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences, UAE University. A stratified sample of normotensive and hypertensive subjects was enrolled for ...

circulatory system A phase 2 trial of the drug vericiguat did not show a statistically significant reduction of N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) levels in patients with worsening ...

ANP, BNP, and CNP are proving to be reliable biomarkers for a variety of conditions. Natriuretic peptides mainly consist of atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP), brain natriuretic peptide (BNP), and ...

B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphomas in childhood: 20 years experience in a single institution. Pre- and postsupp Se levels in Se supp ats with L- Se and H- Pro-BNP levels ± CF. n=8 Pre-suplementation levels ...

DALLAS, TX — In a large population study of normal-weight to obese adults without heart failure, higher levels of natriuretic peptides--including B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP)--were linked with ...

B-type natriuretic peptide is released by cardiac myocytes in response to wall stretch. There are many hemodynamic effects of BNP which are beneficial in the setting of decompensated congestive heart ...
