14 sty 2021 · Atrial fibrillation often accompanies heart failure. Because plasma BNP levels are increased by atrial fibrillation as well as by heart failure, BNP levels are higher in heart failure patients exhibiting atrial fibrillation than in those without atrial fibrillation.
10 maj 2011 · Association of atrial fibrillation and amino-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide concentrations in dyspneic subjects with and without acute heart failure: results from the ProBNP Investigation of Dyspnea in the Emergency Department (PRIDE) study.
29 sty 2013 · Knowledge of the biological variability (expressed as relative change value) of a biomarker is a prerequisite if it is to be used as a monitor for disease stability or as a target for therapy. Present analyses suggest that the relative change values are 40% for BNP and 25% for NT-proBNP.
11 mar 2024 · The release of both ANP and BNP is increased in heart failure (HF), as ventricular myocytes are stimulated to secrete both ANP and BNP in response to increased strain caused by high ventricular filling pressures and increased exposure to neurohormones (eg, norepinephrine and angiotensin) [2].
23 kwi 2023 · Ventricular BNP gene expression increases drastically in cardiac diseases affecting the ventricles, such as heart failure (HF). Observing ventricular BNP gene expression in ventricular disease may have given rise to the common statement that BNP is predominantly a ventricular hormone.
26 kwi 2023 · Higher levels of BNP and NT-proBNP are associated with a greater risk for adverse short- and long-term outcomes in HF, including all-cause and cardiovascular death. Predischarge BNP and NT-proBNP levels are strong predictors of the risk of death or hospital readmission for HF.
3 mar 2022 · For people who don’t have heart failure, normal BNP levels are less than 100 picograms per milliliter (pg/mL). BNP levels over 100 pg/mL may be a sign of heart failure. For NT-proBNP, normal levels are less than 125 pg/mL for people under 75 years old and less than 450 pg/mL for people over age 75.
