Journal ArticleDOI
Immunoreactive amino‐terminal pro‐brain natriuretic peptide (NT‐PROBNP): a new marker of cardiac impairment
Penny J. Hunt,Arthur Mark Richards,M G Nicholls,Timothy G. Yandle,Robert N. Doughty,E. A. Espiner +5 more
TL;DR: The relationship between immunoreactive (IR) NT‐proBNP and BNP‐32 in normal and hypertensive subjects and in patients with cardiac impairment, as well as the regional plasma concentrations in patients undergoing routine cardiac catheterization are investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Renal, haemodynamic, and hormonal effects of human alpha atrial natriuretic peptide in healthy volunteers
TL;DR: There were no significant changes in plasma renin activity, aldosterone, antidiuretic hormone, or noradrenaline when compared with placebo when the effects of atrial natriuretic peptide were investigated in healthy male volunteers taking a constant diet.
Journal ArticleDOI
Metabolic clearance rate and plasma half life of alpha-human atrial natriuretic peptide in man.
TL;DR: These studies show that alpha h-ANP is rapidly metabolized at rates similar to other vasoactive hormones such as angiotensin II and vasopressin.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Amino-Terminal Portion of Pro-Brain Natriuretic Peptide (Pro-BNP) Circulates in Human Plasma
TL;DR: In patients with congestive heart failure plasma ir-levels of N-terminal ProBNP were greatly raised compared to normal subjects and were up to ninefold higher than ir-BNP-32 values.
Journal ArticleDOI
Neurohumoral Prediction of Benefit From Carvedilol in Ischemic Left Ventricular Dysfunction
Arthur Mark Richards,Robert N. Doughty,Michael Gary Nicholls,Stephen MacMahon,Hamid Ikram,Norman Sharpe,E. A. Espiner,Chris Frampton,Timothy G. Yandle +8 more
TL;DR: Carvedilol reduced mortality rates and heart failure in those with higher pretreatment BNP levels but lesser activation of plasma NE, and neurohumoral profiling may guide introduction of beta-blockade in heart failure.
