While B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) levels remain high in patients with end-stage heart failure with cardiogenic shock, these levels lose their prognostic value in patients using ventricular assist ...
BNP levels in the blood reflects the severity of cardiac dysfunction. Higher BNP levels have been associated with adverse clinical outcomes. This study looked at end-stage heart failure patients with ...

Diastolic heart failure is common in the elderly, particularly women. Previous studies on the value of brain natriuretic peptide in diastolic dysfunction have been largely limited to male subjects.
The relationship between cardiovascular dysfunction and renal impairment is widely recognized as the cardiorenal interaction, a complex physiological link in which damage to one organ can accelerate ...

Using Mendelian randomization, Roman Pfister of the University of Cambridge, UK and colleagues demonstrate a potentially causal link between low levels of B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP), a hormone ...
Blood tests are an important tool for diagnosing heart failure. Doctors can also use blood tests to monitor treatment progress and check for potential complications. Doctors may order blood tests for ...
