Research published in the April 2011 issue of Anesthesiology examines whether the hormone plasma B-type natriuretic peptide helps indicate which patients are at risk of adverse cardiac events after ...
Brain natriuretic peptide (BNP), a substance secreted by the heart that is associated with congestive heart failure and renal failure, does not predict reduction in systolic blood pressure (BP) in ...
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 ...
