the result being an increase in blood volume. Perhaps the adaptation would lead to increased stroke volume from increased venous return, but that is not conjectured. However, at equilibrium, one would
Full size image Fig. 3: A comparison of tracking performance among BNP-Track, TrackMate and u-track using two synthetic datasets with one emitter and three emitters in the y coordinate. See Extended Data Fig. 2 for the same figure but with the x coordinate. a, BNP-Track’s MAP estimate...
Quality of life was assessed by structured, validated, and self-administered questionnaires: the Minnesota Living With Heart Failure,12 the Short Form 12,13 and the Duke Activity Status Index.14 Secondary end points included (1) components of primary end points; (2) specific causes of death or...
Blood concentrations of BNP and NT-proBNP were determined by two fully automated chemiluminescent assays (Bayer and Roche method). Diagnostic utilities were tested by ROC analyses and logistic regression. Results: ROC curves of BNP and NT-proBNP in patients with symptomatic HF (n=43) and ...
Full size table No carry-over effect was noted for both BNP and NT-proBNP. No correlation was detected between BNP or NT-proBNP and DPP-4 activity, nor between change in BNP or NT-proBNP and change in DPP-4 activity. Discussion We show that therapy with a DPP-4i has no acute effects...
Categorical variables were compared by chi-square test, and continuous variables (including levels of natriuretic peptide forms) were compared by the Kruskal-Wallis rank sum test. Multivariable linear regression was used to determine which variables were independently associated with plasma BNP-form ...
