Plasma proteomics reveals that the biological ages of key organs, especially the brain and immune system, strongly predict ...

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 ...

TOPLINE: In women with angina pectoris but no obstructive coronary artery disease (ANOCA), a high concentration of pro-C-type natriuretic peptide (proCNP) is linked to a 73% increased risk for all ...

A Texas woman died from a rare brain-eating amoeba after using tap water in a sinus rinse, a CDC report says. Here's what to know about the often fatal infection.

Researchers from North Carolina State University have pinpointed a particular peptide's role in activating atopic dermatitis, or eczema. The work could lead to more effective treatments for the ...

N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide was independently associated with mortality, poor functional outcome, and hemorrhagic transformation in patients with stroke who underwent intravenous ...

Baseline N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) level appears to provide insights into the likelihood of symptomatic improvement after TAVR, a single-center study shows. Normal values ...

In this review, we critically appraise evidence regarding the use of serum N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NTproBNP) levels as a biomarker for BPD in neonates. Furthermore, we summarize ...

Elevated natriuretic peptides (NP) are associated with adverse cerebrovascular conditions including stroke, cerebral small vessel disease, and dementia. However, the mechanisms underlying these ...
