Wie hoch darf der NT-proBNP sein?
Je höher der Anteil des NT-proBNP im Blut (Obergrenze liegt bei 125 Pikogramm pro Milliliter), desto schwerwiegender verläuft meist die Herzinsuffizienz und desto schlechter ist die Prognose.
Was bedeutet der NT-proBNP wert?
Der BNP-Wert (und damit auch der NT-pro BNP-Wert) kann etwa in folgenden Fällen erhöht sein: Herzschwäche (Herzinsuffizienz): Im Allgemeinen ist die Erkrankung umso schwerwiegender, je stärker BNP erhöht ist. akuter Herzinfarkt (Myokardinfarkt) Rhythmusstörungen des Herzens (z.B. Vorhofflimmern)
What is the difference between BNP and NT-proBNP?
In fact, the seminal studies for BNP and NT-proBNP demonstrated similar sensitivity and specificity for ruling in and ruling out HF. However, measurable concentrations of NT-proBNP are higher in plasma than BNP necessitating different clinical cut-points.
What is the role of proBNP and NT-proBNP in myocardial wall stretch?
In response to myocardial wall stretch, pre-proBNP is synthesized and processed to proBNP; which is further processed to the biologically inactive NT-proBNP fragment and the biologically active BNP fragment. Since BNP and NT-proBNP are elevated in patients with HF, both are useful adjuncts to clinical evaluation.
What is the BNP test for heart failure?
The test can be enforced directly in the emergency room if a person has alarming symptoms of heart failure that require rapid establishing of diagnosis. BNP or NT-proBNP test is re-done every few months as long as the patient is receiving the heart failure therapy as a means of checking its effectiveness. 2. How to Prepare for a BNP Test
What is the significance of BNP BNP assay?
BNP assay indicates the presence of left ventricular systolic dysfunction, thus minimizing the number of people needing an echocardiogram. BNP values are compatible with the Goldman Specific Activity Scale of Heart Failure, along with the New York Heart Association (NYHA) Classification of Heart Failure.
