Presents results of an international, multicenter study that examined the degree to which the braintype natriuretic peptide (BNP) enhances clinical judgment in diagnosing congestive heart failure (CHF). Action of the peptides in inhibiting the rennin-angiotensin system and the endothelin pathway; ...
Fasting is not required for this test. Take all medications as prescribed. Note BNP and NT-proBNP levels decrease in most people who are taking drug therapies for heart failure; such as angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors, beta blockers, and diuretics. BNP and NT-proBNP also increas...

A rapid test for B-type natriuretic peptide correlates with falling wedge pressures in patients treated for decompensated heart failure: A pilot study Objectives: To determine if changes in B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) levels can accurately reflect acute changes in pulmonary capillary wedge pressur...
BNP produced by the stretched cardiac myocytes as an endocrine response by the heart initiates natriuresis and inhibition of the renin-aldosterone-angiotensin system to compensate for excess blood volume load. 10. Enzymes are used in the quantification of other enzymes, as well as many metabolites ...
Participants' blood pressure and echocardiograms—a type of ultrasound heart scan—were also taken and were followed up regularly. Researchers adjusted for known factors that can influence how heart failure progresses, including age, kidney function, how well the heart pumps and BNP levels. Patients ...
Two relatively simple methods, an ultrasound investigation and a blood test to measure the level of a substance known as BNP, can predict survival and future heart failure following acute coronary syndromes. This is the conclusion of a thesis presented at the University of Gothenburg, Sweden. ...
