متن کاملN-terminal prohormone brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) as a noninvasive marker for restrictive syndromes.
Constrictive pericarditis (CP) and restrictive cardiomyopathy share many similarities in both their clinical and hemodynamic characteristics and N-terminal prohormone brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) is a sensitive marker of cardiac diastolic dysfunction. The objectives of the present study were to determine whether serum NT-proBNP was high in patients with endomyocardial fibrosis (EMF) an...
متن کاملHuman ProBNP and proBNP-derived Peptides (BNP and NT-proBNP)
Brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) is a peptide hormone with natriuretic, vasodilatory and renin inhibitory properties (1, 2, 3). BNP belongs to a family of structurally similar peptide hormones that also includes atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP), C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP) and urodilatin. These peptides are characterized by a 17 amino acid ring structure with a disulfide bond between two cy...
متن کاملN-Terminal proBNP Levels and Tissue Doppler Echocardiography in Acute Rheumatic Carditis
Background. Rheumatic heart disease (RHD) is a leading cause of heart failure in children and young adults worldwide. B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) is a useful marker of critical pediatric heart disease, and its N-terminal peptide, NT-proBNP, is elevated in congenital and acquired heart disease in children. Aim. To measure NT-proBNP levels as a marker of carditis in children with acute rheum...
متن کاملN-terminal proBNP--marker of cardiac dysfunction, fluid overload, or malnutrition in hemodialysis patients?
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES N-terminal probrain type natriuretic peptide (NTproBNP) has been proven to be a valuable biomarker for predicting cardiac events and mortality in the hemodialysis population. However recent reports have suggested that NTproBNP is a marker of volume overload rather than one of cardiac dysfunction. Therefore this study investigated the effect of fluid volume status on NT...
