Cardiac natriuretic peptides, especially amino terminal pro-Brain Natriuretic Peptide (NT-proBNP), are emerging as powerful circulating markers of cardiac function. However, the in vivo secretion and elimination (t1/2) of these peptides during acute volume overload have not been studied. We present the first report of the secretion and elimination of cardiac natriuretic peptides, based on decon...
INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES Neprilysin breaks down numerous vasoactive peptides. The soluble form of neprilysin, which was recently identified in heart failure, is associated with cardiovascular outcomes. Within a multibiomarker strategy, we directly compared soluble neprilysin and N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide as risk stratifiers in a real-life cohort of heart failure patients. M...
The role of the amino-terminal fragment of probrain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) in monitoring the clinical status of outpatients with chronic heart failure has not yet been fully established. Fifty-nine patients with chronic heart failure were followed up at an outpatient clinic. The serum NT-proBNP level was measured and clinical status was assessed according to New York Heart Association ...
Systemic amyloidosis commonly affects the heart. Indeed, cardiac symptoms may be the first clinical indicator of underlying amyloid deposition. Using two case studies, this article reviews the latest evidence regarding cardiac amyloidosis. The diagnosis of cardiac involvement can be established through imaging with echocardiography and magnetic resonance. Supportive evidence may be gained from ...
Biomarkers are quantitative indicators of biological processes performed by an organ or system. In recent years, natriuretic peptides (NPs) have emerged as important tools in the diagnosis and therapeutic monitoring of heart diseases. Research has shown that serum and plasma levels of N-terminal pro brain NP (NT-proBNP) in dogs and cats are the only biomarkers that afford to diagnose and monito...
OBJECTIVE Circulating levels of NH(2)-terminal probrain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP), a marker of acute heart failure, are associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in the general population. However, there is little information on the potential role of NT-proBNP as a biomarker of vascular complications in type 1 diabetic patients. We investigated whether serum NT-proBNP...
Cardiac biomarkers are integral to the diagnosis and the treatment of acutely ill cardiac patients. The Working Group on Acute Cardiac Care of the European Society of Cardiology has established a Study Group to deal with issues related to cardiac biomarkers in this important area. Biomarkers are used to augment physician skill and judgment. Accordingly, we will outline principles for the applic...
AIMS The degree of systolic dysfunction does not always correlate with functional impairment in patients with congestive heart failure. In contrast, diastolic dysfunction correlates well with functional impairment. In heart failure, both elevation of N-terminal proatrial natriuretic peptide and B-type natriuretic peptide are markers of a poor prognosis. METHODS We investigated 32 patients (26...
BACKGROUND Experimental studies suggest that the natriuretic peptides influence lipid and fatty acid metabolism. Although it has been shown that obese individuals have reduced natriuretic peptide levels, conflicting data exist on the relation of natriuretic peptide levels to other metabolic risk factors. METHODS AND RESULTS We examined the association of plasma levels of B-type natriuretic pe...
Aim. The present study was designed to test the hypothesis that the development of postinfarction heart failure is associated with a change of activity of the intracardiac oxytocinergic system. Methods. Experiments were performed on male Sprague-Dawley rats subjected to myocardial infarction or sham surgery. Four weeks after the surgery, blood samples were collected and the samples of the left ...
