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 ...

The STARS-BNP trial [42] was the first large trial to demonstrate improved outcomes using a natriuretic peptide-guided approach in patients with HF. The investigators enrolled 220 participants ...

New research reveals how fluoxetine boosts immune protection and prevents sepsis-related heart and metabolic damage.

Atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) stimulates natriuretic peptide receptor-A (NPR-A) and increases intracellular cGMP. We examined the changes in ANP and NPR-A in respiratory epithelium during the ...

10 were used to analyse the data. Area under the receiver operating curve (AUROC) was calculated for each cohort to measure the natriuretic peptide's performance in predicting HF at screening.

Left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) are increasingly common across the heart failure population. Right ventricular failure (RVF) is a feared complication that can occur in the early post-operative ...

Background and aims N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) is a well-established biomarker in clinical practice, particularly for heart failure, but its role in predicting atrial ...

The following is a summary of “Development of the pulmonary fibrosis, pulmonary vascular resistance, six minute walk distance, B-type natriuretic peptide, age (PVD-B65) risk score for patients with ...

In receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis, serum miRNA-486 was a good predictor of RV maladaptation in PH patients (cut-off value 3.441, AUC 0.8625), which was not significantly different ...

This is a tricky one, Dr Nathwani acknowledged. There are tests, such as a brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) test, which are designed to show how well one's heart is working, but they are arguably ...

The hit show Severance can be refashioned as a teaching moment about certain brain disorders. But its famed “Innie” versus “Outie” conceit is totally bogus ...

The protection of your personal data is at the heart of our concerns. BNP Paribas SA (Communication Groupe) ("We"), as a controller, through our various brands, including for example BNP Paribas, We ...
