While B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) levels remain high in patients with end-stage heart failure with cardiogenic shock, these levels lose their prognostic value in patients using ventricular assist ...
B-type natriuretic peptide shows a graded association with decline in kidney function in individuals with diabetes, even at concentrations ≤ 18.4 pg/mL, which are conventionally considered normal.
In the urgent-care setting, determining the cause of dyspnea has been difficult because traditional, subjective methods of distinguishing heart failure from pulmonary conditions leave a high level of ...
Using Mendelian randomization, Roman Pfister of the University of Cambridge, UK and colleagues demonstrate a potentially causal link between low levels of B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP), a hormone ...
BNP levels in the blood reflects the severity of cardiac dysfunction. Higher BNP levels have been associated with adverse clinical outcomes. This study looked at end-stage heart failure patients with ...
