The present data supports the idea of natriuretic peptides as valuable biomarkers of RVD in ❋ Unknown (2010)
The heart fights back by making its own countering hormones called natriuretic factors, which calm the heart and signal blood vessels in the body to relax and give it a break. ❋ Unknown (2009)
Salt sensitivity in obese individuals may be a consequence of increased sympathetic activity, decreased responsiveness to atrial natriuretic peptide, activation of the renin-angiotensin system or mechanical pressure on the kidneys that increases sodium reabsorption. ❋ Unknown (2009)
Levels of N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide NT-proBNP are measured within 24 hours of admission to hospital and again at discharge to help doctors diagnose and manage patients with heart failure, which is often confused with other conditions. ❋ Ann Lukits (2011)
When you exercise, your rapidly beating heart releases a chemical called atrial natriuretic peptide ANP, which crosses over to the brain and directly turns off the stress response. ❋ KELLY TRAVER (2009)
Your rapidly beating heart also produces atrial natriuretic peptide ANP, which races over to the brain and directly shuts off the stress response originating in your limbic system. ❋ KELLY TRAVER (2009)
First, when you exercise, your heart rate increases, and this stimulates your heart to release a hormone called atrial natriuretic peptide. ❋ KELLY TRAVER (2009)
These blood tests measure cardiac enzymes such as troponin and creatine kinase, C-reactive protein, fibrinogen, homocysteine, lipoproteins, triglycerides, brain natriuretic peptide, and prothrombin. ❋ Ph.D. Dede Bonner (2009)
Next program I would like to talk about is our PL3994 our natriuretic peptide receptor agonist in development as a treatment for acute exastribations ph of asthma, which is defined as an ongoing asthma episode in which asthma symptoms do not adequately respond to initial bronchodilator or Inaudible steroid therapy.
The updated NICE guidelines recommend that for the diagnosis of heart failure in patients with no history of MI, echocardiography should be used only if natriuretic peptides are raised. ❋ Larry Husten (2011)
They write: "Some may argue that natriuretic peptide monitoring should be used more broadly." ❋ Larry Husten (2011)
The editorialists also take issue with the NICE assertion that serial natriuretic peptide monitoring is cost-effective only when performed by specialists and only when used in select heart failure patients. ❋ Larry Husten (2011)
Much of the controversy revolves around the relative weight given to echocardiography and natriuretic peptides in the diagnosis and treatment of heart failure. ❋ Larry Husten (2011)
That was the first antihypertensive to simultaneously block the renin-angiotensin system and slow degradation of natriuretic peptides, according to a commentary accompanying the ❋ MedPageToday.com - Medical News Plus CME For Physi (2010)
Explain to interested patients that an experimental drug that counteracts vasoconstriction as both an angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB) and an agent that slows natriuretic peptide degradation appears to fight hypertension better than an ARB alone. ❋ MedPageToday.com - Medical News Plus CME For Physi (2010)
Neprilysin inhibition increases the concentration of natriuretic peptides by slowing their degradation, but has shown little blood pressure effect alone. ❋ MedPageToday.com - Medical News Plus CME For Physi (2010)
Plasma atrial natriuretic peptide concentrations rose as expected with LCZ696 and its AHU377 component, but they were poorly correlated to actual blood pressure effects. ❋ MedPageToday.com - Medical News Plus CME For Physi (2010)
