The rs5065 is a genetic variant and its minor allele encodes for an ANP with two additional arginines at the C-terminus, ANP-RR. This research also found that ... Mendelian randomization; NPPB, ...

Purpose: Thyroid hormones (THs) significantly affect the cardiovascular system. N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) is a useful biomarker for diagnosing, evaluating, and predicting ...

Circulating concentrations of B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) and the N-terminal ... renal function, C-reactive protein and troponins. In stable CAD, the risk associated with BNP and NT-proBNP ...

The most studied biomarkers in HF are natriuretic peptides (NPs). Since their discovery in the 1980s ... 31 This appears to be mediated through mechanisms other than NPR-C clearance, as both NT-proBNP ...

However, despite the advances in the field and the identification of numerous potential candidates, their implementation in clinical practice beyond natriuretic peptides and troponins is mostly ...

Inherent biological traits: age, sex, race/ethnicity and familial history; Inherent abnormal physiological variables: atrial fibrillation (AF), carotid stenosis, transient IS, migraine, diabetes ...

Carotid atherosclerosis (CAS) is a critical precursor to atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease and is closely associated with the development and progression of conditions such as stroke and poor ...

Hematoxylin and eosin staining of a section of the fat-pad biopsy specimen (Panel C) reveals eccentric thickening of vessel walls by a waxy substance (arrows). On Congo red staining, the substance ...
