Previous studies on the value of brain natriuretic peptide in diastolic dysfunction have been largely limited to male subjects. The authors found that female gender, in addition to diastolic ...

Cardiac problems associated with vascular endothelial growth factor inhibitors occur frequently in patients with cancer.

Whereas obesity is a common confounder when interpreting natriuretic peptide values, and the presence of atrial fibrillation has an important influence on pretest probability, other confounders are ...

Brain natriuretic peptide (BNP), first discovered in porcine brain, is principally produced by the heart. Unlike atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP), BNP is largely derived from the ventricles.

Objective: To investigate if the exercise-induced immune response contributes to the exercise-induced increase in brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) in healthy athletes. This has previously been ...

Elevated serum levels of cardiac troponin T (cTnT) and brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) are markers of poor outcome in patients with heart failure. To date, most studies of these markers have ...

B-type natriuretic peptide is released by cardiac myocytes in response to wall stretch. There are many hemodynamic effects of BNP which are beneficial in the setting of decompensated congestive ...

Data demonstrated multiple clinical benefits beyond linear growth— NDA supported by data from three randomized, double-blind, ...
