The inactive N-terminal fragment of pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) has been linked to ventricular dysfunction in the general population, and is predictive of cardiac events. Corteville et ...

This new study investigated the relationship between cardiac function and hemodynamics among individuals presenting with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) and normal levels of ...

Black patients had lower plasma N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide levels compared with white patients, according to a study published in JAMA Cardiology. Higher NT-proBNP levels were linked to ...

Wanting more data on the benefits of sacubitril/valsartan vs renin angiotensin system inhibitor background therapy, investigators conducted a large randomized study among persons with heart failure ...

Please provide your email address to receive an email when new articles are posted on . Empagliflozin was safe and effective in patients with HF with reduced ejection fraction regardless of systolic ...

In people with no history of CV disease, N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) levels can predict a higher risk of developing CV disease across various blood pressure and pulse pressure ...

Measuring N-terminal pro–B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) levels preoperatively among patients scheduled to undergo inpatient noncardiac surgery can strongly predict the risk of major cardiac ...

"HF algorithms are starting to recognize and include NT-proBNP in identifying stage B HF…Studies such as ours could provide insight and guidance as to when repeat measures may be useful. Future work ...
