OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to assess whether management of heart failure (HF) guided by an individualized N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) target would lead to improved outcome compared with HF management guided by clinical assessment alone. BACKGROUND Natriuretic peptides may be attractive biomarkers to guide management of heart failure (HF) and help select...
OBJECTIVES This study investigated the prognostic value of detectable cardiac troponin T (TnT) and elevated N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) levels in a population of community-dwelling older adults. BACKGROUND Minimally elevated levels of TnT, a marker of cardiomyocyte injury, have been found in small subsets of the general population, with uncertain implications. A mark...
AIMS N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) levels predict outcomes in ST-elevation myocardial infarction patients treated with fibrinolysis or primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). However, its role in facilitated PCI has not yet been assessed; it may be a tool to evaluate the lower event rates with primary PCI in ASSENT-4. METHODS AND RESULTS In ASSENT-4, 1667 pati...
BACKGROUND Occult (asymptomatic) dilated cardiomyopathy (ODCM) is highly prevalent in Doberman Pinschers. HYPOTHESIS/OBJECTIVES Assess ability of NT-proBNP assay to detect ODCM and predict death. ANIMALS 155 asymptomatic Dobermans presenting for ODCM screening. METHODS Echocardiography, 24-hour Holter, and NT-proBNP assay were performed prospectively. Diagnosis was based on increased left...
Right ventricular systolic dysfunction (RVSD) at baseline (pre-treatment) predicts early death in patients with pulmonary hypertension (PH). However, RVSD can only be detected reliably by prohibitively invasive or expensive techniques. N-terminal B-type natriuretic peptide concentration ([NT-proBNP]) correlates with RV function in PH; however, an [NT-proBNP] threshold that indicates RVSD in ind...
BACKGROUND The relationship between changes in N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) and echocardiographic or clinical definitions of response to cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) has not been evaluated. The aims of the present evaluation were to assess: (1) the relationship between changes in NT-proBNP after 6 months of CRT and clinical and echocardiographic responses; (2)...
OBJECTIVES This study sought to determine whether serial measurement of N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) in community-dwelling elderly people would provide additional prognostic information to that from traditional risk factors. BACKGROUND Accurate cardiovascular risk stratification is challenging in elderly people. METHODS NT-proBNP was measured at baseline and 2 to 3 ...
BACKGROUND: The potential cardiotoxicity of antipsychotic drugs is well known. The N-terminal fragment of B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) is considered to be a possible biomarker in clinical practice for the diagnosis and prognosis in patients with suspected heart failure. This pilot evaluation tests the influence of antipsychotic drugs on NT-proBNP concentration in view of the hypothesi...
BACKGROUND Metabolic syndrome has been shown to be associated with lower levels of plasma N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (Nt-proBNP) in the general population. We sought to elucidate the relationship between Nt-proBNP and components of metabolic syndrome in patients with congestive heart failure (CHF). METHODS Fasting blood samples were obtained from 93 patients in our institution....
BACKGROUND The biomarker N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) predicts outcome in patients with non-ST-elevation acute coronary syndromes (NSTE-ACS). Whether NT-proBNP has incremental prognostic value beyond established risk strategies is still questionable. PURPOSE To evaluate the predictive value of NT-proBNP for 30-day mortality over and beyond the Global Registry of Acute ...
