Brain natriuretic peptide (BNP), first discovered in porcine brain, is principally produced by the heart. Unlike atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP), BNP is largely derived from the ventricles.

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 ...

Elevated serum levels of cardiac troponin T (cTnT) and brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) are markers of poor outcome in patients with heart failure. To date, most studies of these markers have ...

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 ...

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 ...

RNA therapeutics also decreased brain natriuretic peptide levels and global longitudinal strain. CHICAGO — RNA therapeutics improved survival, 6-minute walk distance and quality of life for ...
