Evaluation of Serum Levels of N-terminal Pro Brain Natriuretic Peptide and Atrial Natriuretic Peptide in Neonates with Respiratory Distress
Background: Acute respiratory distress (ARD) is a critical respiratory failure due to lung injury of neonates leading to the clinical appearance of poor lung compliance. The aimed of the study was to evaluate the diagnostic values in differentiating respiratory from heart diseases with using of N-terminal pro brain natriuretic peptide (NT-pro BNP) and Atrial natriuretic peptide(ANP) in neonates...
متن کاملComparison between Brain Natriuretic Peptide and Calcitonin Gene Related Peptide in Children with Dilated Cardiomyopathy
Background: Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is revealed with the left ventricular dilatation and systolic dysfunction. This study was performed to determine the level of Calcitonin Gene Related Peptide (CGRP) and Brain Natriuretic Peptide (BNP) in children with dilated cardiomyopathy and controls and comparison of these two biomarkers in patients. Materials and Methods: This case-control study was...
متن کاملBrain natriuretic peptide inhibits hypoxic pulmonary hypertension in rats.
Brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) is a pulmonary vasodilator that is elevated in the right heart and plasma of hypoxia-adapted rats. To test the hypothesis that BNP protects against hypoxic pulmonary hypertension, we measured right ventricular systolic pressure (RVSP), right ventricle (RV) weight-to-body weight (BW) ratio (RV/BW), and percent muscularization of peripheral pulmonary vessels (%MPPV...
متن کاملPlasma brain natriuretic peptide and endopeptidase 24.11 inhibition in hypertension.
In contrast to the wealth of information available concerning the response of plasma atrial natriuretic peptide to changes in pressure and volume status and to inhibition of endopeptidase 24.11, very little is known of possible concomitant effects on brain natriuretic peptide. The effects of change in posture, pressor infusions of angiotensin II, or inhibition of endopeptidase 24.11 were docume...
متن کاملClinical significance of brain natriuretic peptide in primary pulmonary hypertension.
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to investigate the potential role of brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) levels in the assessment of functional status and right heart performance in primary pulmonary hypertension (PPH). BACKGROUND Primary pulmonary hypertension is a progressive disease leading to right heart failure and death. Right heart catheterization and maximal or submaximal exercise te...
