October 26, 2009 (Seattle, Washington) — An analysis from a large community-based study of older adults suggests that N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) is a "remarkable predictor" ...

To explore the association of urinary N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) concentrations and closure of patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) in preterm infants. A prospective longitudinal ...

June 18, 2009 (St Paul, Minnesota) — Plasma levels of N-terminal fragment of B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) were significantly increased in association with asymptomatic LV systolic or ...

Measuring N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide in patients with HF advanced detection of HF-related events and influenced therapy, but it did not produce a significant improvement on the number ...

Measuring N-terminal pro–B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) levels preoperatively among patients scheduled to undergo inpatient noncardiac surgery can strongly predict the risk of major cardiac ...

In this new subanalysis of data from the Atherosclerosis Risk in the Communities study, investigators assessed the risk of incident heart failure (HF) or death by race and sex, as influenced by ...

Baseline N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) level appears to provide insights into the likelihood of symptomatic improvement after TAVR, a single-center study shows. Normal values ...

At this year's congress of the American Heart Association (AHA) in Chicago, November 13-17, new data on the use of NT-proBNP to guide heart failure therapy was presented by study investigators from ...

Wanting more data on the benefits of sacubitril/valsartan vs renin angiotensin system inhibitor background therapy, investigators conducted a large randomized study among persons with heart failure ...

The role of N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP, a protein thought to be a regulator of cardiovascular function) as a robust, non-invasive predictor of cardiovascular risk in patients ...

An assay measuring N-terminal pro-BNP, or NT-proBNP, is more sensitive to detect heart failure and used in many institutions. The levels of BNP and NT-proBNP are essentially the same in normal ...
