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 ...

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.

A young man’s undiagnosed acromegaly leads to severe cardiac complications, highlighting the genetic links and diagnostic ...

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 ...

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 ...

The chambers release peptide hormones, including ‘atrial natriuretic peptide’ and ‘brain natriuretic peptide’, which help regulate the balance of fluid in the body by affecting the kidneys.

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 ...

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 ...

Atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) is similar to b-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) in the hemodynamic effects. ANP is not measured clinically unlike BNP. It is released in response to myocyte stretch ...

The chambers release peptide hormones, including "atrial natriuretic peptide" and "brain natriuretic peptide", which help ...

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

She still runs a slight fever in the afternoon every day and her brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) levels, a marker for potential heart failure, remain high. She cannot freely move her fingers ...
