Aims This study investigated the prognostic value of B type natriuretic peptide (BNP) in acute
myocardial infarction (AMI) patients and its relation with left ventricular function and post …

Objective: Brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) is secreted predominantly from the ventricles in
response to increased wall stress, which is known to be one of the major forces driving left …

Background: Risk stratification after acute myocardial infarction (AMI) includes the
evaluation of left ventricular (LV) function. Natriuretic peptides, and particularly brain …

We evaluated a rapid brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) assay (Triage® BNP, Biosite
Diagnostics) as indicator of infarct size, left ventricular (LV) dysfunction, and long-term …

Background: After acute myocardial infarction (AMI), left ventricular (LV) function is a well-
established prognostic marker. Recent studies indicate that serum levels of brain natriuretic …

Background Elevated plasma levels of atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) and the N-terminal
fragment of the ANP prohormone (N-ANP) are associated with decreased left ventricular …

Objectives: Elevated B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) levels following acute myocardial
infarction (AMI) are associated with adverse outcomes. The role of serial BNP monitoring …

B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) is widely used in the treatment of early-stage heart failure
and coronary heart disease. In this study, the association of plasma BNP concentration with …

Background—Circulating levels of B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP), a cardiac hormone,
reflect the severity of cardiac dysfunction. Because the plasma BNP level changes …

BACKGROUND: B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) is released from the cardiac ventricles in
response to increased wall tension in patients with heart failure. The significance of blood …
