There is no level of BNP that perfectly separates patients with and without heart failure. [14] In screening for congenital heart disease in pediatric patients, an NT-proBNP cut-off value of 91 pg/mL could differentiate an acyanotic heart disease (ACNHD) patient from a healthy patient with a sensitivity of 84% and specificity of 42%.

Reference ranges (reference intervals) for blood tests are sets of values used by a health professional to interpret a set of medical test results from blood samples. Reference ranges for blood tests are studied within the field of clinical chemistry (also known as "clinical biochemistry", "chemical pathology" or "pure blood chemistry"), the ...
Natriuretic peptide-binding receptors and ligand selectivity. [1] A natriuretic peptide is a hormone molecule that plays a crucial role in the regulation of the cardiovascular system. These hormones were first discovered in the 1980s and were found to have very strong diuretic, natriuretic, and vasodilatory effects.
Over time, these light chains deposit into the interstitial tissue within the myocardium. [4] Diagnostic tests includes serum and urine electrophoresis, [4] laboratory testing for the determination of elevated levels of troponin and BNP, and ECGs showing low QRS voltages. [2]
A review that considered berberine’s effects on heart health found some studies supporting this claim, but due to the high risk of bias, the researchers recommended more clinical trials be ...
Instead, swap these high-added-sugar, high-fat drinks for healthier alternatives like flavored seltzer waters, homemade coffee drinks or smoothies, and limit alcoholic cocktails.
Alpha-blockers, like prazosin (Minipress®), are typically used to manage high blood pressure. These medications work by blocking the norepinephrine to help prevent blood vessels from tightening ...
