Circulating concentrations of B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) and the N-terminal fragment (NT) of its prohormone (proBNP) are related to cardiac function and have emerged as clinically useful ...

An assay measuring N-terminal pro-BNP, or NT-proBNP, is more sensitive to detect heart failure and used in many institutions. The levels of BNP and NT-proBNP are essentially the same in normal ...

This has previously been speculated, as elevated concentrations of BNP or N-terminal pro brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) in cardiovascular patients were found to be related to immune reactions ...

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 ...

A newer assay measuring NT-terminal pro-BNP (NT-proBNP) is more sensitive to detect heart failure and used in many institutions. The levels of BNP and NT-proBNP are essentially the same in normal ...
