People who had N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) levels checked at year 1 in the old SEAS study had varying rates of aortic valve events (AVEs) -- a composite of aortic valve ...

BARCELONA, SPAIN — High levels of serum probrain natriuretic peptide (proBNP) are associated with an increased risk of macrovascular events, independent of baseline coronary artery disease (CAD ...

Higher NT-proBNP levels = higher HF risk Among individuals with a NT-proBNP level of ≥125 pg/mL at both visits, there was an increase in incident HF risk (adjusted hazard ratio [HR] 2.40 ...

For outpatients with dyspnea and atrial fibrillation (AF), NT-proBNP levels may not be very useful at all because “AF itself is a robust biomarker of HFpEF,” lead authors Yogesh Reddy, MBBS, and ...

Additional study findings include the following: 19% lower NT-proBNP levels among men vs women from visit 5 39% lower NT-proBNP levels in men vs women after accounting for potential confounders ...

October 22, 2007 (New Orleans) — Kidney impairment raises levels of N-terminal pro—B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP), a finding that may mean that the tests for this neurohormone lose ...

NT-proBNP levels were measured at baseline, 4, 12, 52 and 100 weeks, and patients were divided into quartiles based on their NT-proBNP levels of less than 1,115 pg/mL (n = 930), 1,115 pg/mL to ...

A cut‑off point of the initial NT‑proBNP value of 577 pg/ml was estimated as the most accurate prognostic risk factor for cardiovascular events within a 4‑year follow-up (sensitivity 77%, specificity ...

Using an implantable loop recorder (ILR) to screen older individuals for atrial fibrillation (AF) may be more beneficial when NT-proBNP levels are high, according to a post hoc analysis of the LOOP ...

At the time, he was pumping 10 liters per minute. He had a proBNP natriuretic peptide level over 10,000 and an ejection fraction of 39%. Later, he was found to have an abdominal arteriovenous ...
