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 ...

B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) and its precursor, N-terminal pro-brain BNP (NT-proBNP) have been extensively studied for their predictive value in patients with heart failure. A systematic ...

Previous studies on the value of brain natriuretic peptide in diastolic dysfunction have been largely limited to male subjects. The authors found that female gender, in addition to diastolic ...

Objective: To investigate if the exercise-induced immune response contributes to the exercise-induced increase in brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) in healthy athletes. This has previously been ...

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 ...

The initial primary use of measuring b-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) is to determine the etiology of dyspnea in patients presenting to the emergency department. If the BNP level is significantly ...
