conclusions the results of the current study suggested that spinal anesthesia plus intravenous patient-controlled analgesia have the most favorable cardiac effects regarding postoperative levels of pro-bnp. results there was no difference between three groups for basic characteristics and variables and baseline pro-bnp levels; however, postoperative pro-bnp levels in groups a, b, and c were res...

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...

acute dyspnea is a common cause of hospitalization in emergency departments (ed).distinguishing the cardiac causes of acute dyspnea from pulmonary ones is a major challenge for responsible physicians in eds. this study compares the characteristics of bedside ultrasonography with serum level of blood natriuretic peptide (bnp) in this regard. methods: this diagnostic accuracy study compares bedsi...

background one of the main components involving in the pathogenesis and prognosis of sepsis and septic shock is natriuretic peptide. hemodynamic changes in sepsis or septic shock might explain increased plasma levels of these peptides circulations. objectives the present study aimed to assess the value of brain natriuretic peptide (bnp) in prediction of sepsis state and its related morbidity. w...

introduction: the aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of aerobic exercise on brain natriuretic peptide (bnp) and c-reactive protein (crp) levels in women with cardiovascular diseases. materials and methods: in this semi experimental study, thirty female patients with at least one coronary artery stenosis (more than70%) were chosen and divided into two groups of aerobic training (n=15)...

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...

the aim of the study was to evaluate the clinical usefulness of n-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (nt-pro bnp) and nitric oxide (no) with echocardiography (gold standard test) in diagnosis of canine cardiomyopathy. out of 374 cases, 82 cases showing cardiovascular abnormalities including 16 cases of cardiomyopathy were further selected for standardization of biomarkers. significant (p

background: serum n-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (nt-probnp), a polypeptide secreted by ventricular myocytes in response to stretch, was suggested as a predictor of adverse prognosis of the acute coronary syndrome (acs). we examined the association between nt-probnp level and angiographic findings in acs patients to determine whether it could be used as a predictor of the severity of ...

background: brain type natriuretic peptide (bnp) is a cardiac hormone that is secreted mainly by the ventricles in response to volume expansion and pressure load. it can predict post-operative complications after heart surgery in adults. we sought to investigate the prognostic value of bnp in children after heart surgery. methods: we measured the bnp serum levels in 96 children with congenital ...
