O que é o exame proBNP?

Estes testes medem a concentração sanguínea do peptídeo natriurético tipo-B (BNP) ou N-terminal pró-peptídeo natriurético tipo-B (NT-próBNP), a fim de detectar e avaliar a insuficiência cardíaca.

O que significa peptídeo natriurético cerebral?

O BNP (brain natriuretic peptide) é um marcador da função miocárdica, útil no diagnóstico auxiliar, monitorização do tratamento e definição de prognóstico na insuficiência cardíaca congestiva (ICC).

Qual a diferença entre BNP e ProBNP?

O BNP constitui o hormônio ativo, enquanto o NT-ProBNP, mesmo biologicamente inativo, é secretado em quantidades equimolares ao BNP, sendo proveniente dos ventrículos cardíacos e liberado na circulação em resposta à expansão do volume ventricular e à sobrecarga de pressão nos ventrículos.

What is the N-terminal pro hormone ( BNP )?

• N-terminal (NT)-pro hormone BNP (NT-proBNP) is a non-active prohormone that is released from the same molecule that produces BNP. Both BNP and NT-proBNP are released in response to changes in pressure inside the heart. These changes can be related to heart failure and other cardiac problems.

What is the difference between BNP and NT proBNP?

• You may hear your healthcare team refer to BNP or NT-proBNP levels, depending on the equipment used by the laboratory. BNP and NT-proBNP are measured as a simple blood test to help diagnose and monitor heart failure. BNP and NT-proBNP test results provide different values. At Cleveland Clinic, doctors rely mostly on NT-proBNP testing ...

When to seek medical attention for NT proBNP?

• All patients older than 65 years (184 men; mean age, 78+/-0.8 years/181 women; mean age, 82+/-0.6 years) seeking medical attention at the Lund University Hospital Emergency Clinic during a 2-year period who had an N-terminal prohormone brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) value >2000 pg/mL were …
