HF: heart failure BNP: brain natriuretic peptide EF: ejection fraction Further testing With clinical evaluation and initial tests confirming HF, additional tests to determine the etiology and risk stratification by classifying the stage of HF follow. Workup for coronary artery disease (especially for...
Demographics, vital signs, echocardiography and labs were compared between patients with normal versus abnormal B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP).Results4407 were positive for methamphetamine, 714 were screened for heart failure, and 450 (63%) had abnormal BNP. The prevalence of abnormal BNP in ...
Table 3. Shock Labs at Baseline and for Re-Profiling. BNP, brain natriuretic peptide; CPO, cardiac power output; JVP, jugular venous pressure; LV and RVSWi, left and right ventricular stroke work index; LVEF, left ventricular ejection fraction; LVOT VTI, left ventricular outflow tract obstruct...
Left ventricular ejection fraction (EF) is a key measure in the diagnosis and treatment of heart failure (HF) and many patients experience changes in EF overtime. Large-scale analysis of longitudinal changes in EF using electronic health records (EHRs) is limited. In a multi-site retrospective...
The BNP test is also used for the risk stratification of patients with acute coronary syn- dromes. BNP values may fluctuate due to factors other than heart failure. Lower than predicted levels are often seen in obese patients. Higher levels are seen in those with renal dis- ease, in the ...
Loop diuretics remain the cornerstone of congestion management in contemporary chronic heart failure care. However, their use is not supported by high qual
B 型钠尿肽(BNP)具有平衡扩张动静脉、利尿 利钠,改善血流动力学参数,缓解心力衰竭(HF)症 状的综合治疗作用 [1-3] 。但是,2011 年在重组人BNP (rhBNP)应用于急性失代偿性心力衰竭临床研究 (ASCEND-HF)中发现,rhBNP 并不能增加或减少死 亡和再入院率 ...
Heart failure is a major cause of death with an increasing population of elderly individuals. Several studies have demonstrated the involvement of soluble alpha-Klotho (sαKl) in various diseases. However, the correlation between sαKl and heart failure
Influence of age and in-patient care on prescription rate and long-term outcome in chronic heart failure-a data-based substudy of the EuroHeart Failure Survey 热度: Managing acute heart failure in the Emergency … 热度: acute right heart syndrome in the critically ill patient危重病人急性右心综...
The present study sought to evaluate the clinical utility of pro-B-type natriuretic peptides (proBNP) in patients admitted with acute decompensated heart failure. Background Plasma natriuretic peptides (BNP1–32, N-terminal [NT]-proBNP1–76) have been demonstrated to assist in the diagnosis of...
