The relationship between cardiovascular dysfunction and renal impairment is widely recognized as the cardiorenal interaction, ...

This new study investigated the relationship between cardiac function and hemodynamics among individuals presenting with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) and normal levels of ...

The relationship between cardiovascular dysfunction and renal impairment is widely recognized as the cardiorenal interaction, ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

In the urgent-care setting, determining the cause of dyspnea has been difficult because traditional, subjective methods of distinguishing heart failure from pulmonary conditions leave a high level of ...

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 ...
