Background and aims N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) is a well-established biomarker in clinical practice, particularly for heart failure, but its role in predicting atrial ...

Atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) stimulates natriuretic peptide receptor-A (NPR-A) and increases intracellular cGMP. We examined the changes in ANP and NPR-A in respiratory epithelium during the ...

The incidence of the new-onset AF was 9.2% (54/590). A significant difference in age, heart rate, cardiac troponin I ultra, amino-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide, D-dimer, left atrial diameter, ...

Figure. WHO-recommended principles for screening. Colors illustrate compliance with screening principles for atrial fibrillation (green, fulfilled; orange, debated or dependent on the tool used; red, ...

Secondary outcome measures include improvement of six-minute walk distance and improvement and maintenance or achievement of N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide. Company officials said in the ...

(D) Bar graphs showing the percentage cleavage efficiency for each trimming step for mutant enzyme compared to WT enzyme. Cleavage events where the precursor Aβ peptide level was zero (i.e., no ...

We also intended to compare BNP concentration with echocardiographic parameters such as ductal diameter and atrial/aortic root (LA/Ao) ratio. Finally, we tested the practicability of the BNP ...

PRRT is a possible treatment for some NETs that start in the pancreas or the digestive system. It is not a treatment for NECs. Radioisotope therapy uses radioactive medicines to treat some cancer ...

Clinicians will increasingly encounter heart rhythm data generated from consumer-grade devices. Consumer-grade smartphone-paired devices and smartwatches have very high sensitivity and specificity for ...
