Circulating concentrations of B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) and the N-terminal fragment (NT) of its prohormone (proBNP) are related to cardiac function and have emerged as clinically useful ...

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 ...

Testing for natriuretic peptide markers, such as B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) or N-terminal proBNP (NT-proBNP), has emerged as an important tool for the diagnosis and risk stratification of ...

Pulmonary hypertension is a common consequence of interstitial lung disease (PH-ILD), with the highest rate seen among ...

The inactive N-terminal fragment of pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) has been linked to ventricular dysfunction in the general population, and is predictive of cardiac events. Corteville ...

Background Patients with transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CM) often experience worsening cardiac disease (WCD) ...

Inter-atrial shunt device therapy has shown mixed results in clinical trials, with clinical 'non-responders' typically showing features of more advanced heart failure. We aimed to analyse the ...

This has previously been speculated, as elevated concentrations of BNP or N-terminal pro brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) in cardiovascular patients were found to be related to immune reactions ...

A newer assay measuring NT-terminal pro-BNP (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 ...
