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...

BACKGROUND Adrenomedullin, a potent endogenous vasodilating and natriuretic peptide, may play an important role in the pathophysiology of chronic heart failure. Plasma levels of immunoreactive adrenomedullin were examined for prediction of prognosis in chronic heart failure. METHODS AND RESULTS Plasma levels of immunoreactive-ADM (ir-ADM) were measured by radioimmunoassay in 117 chronic heart...
