Brain Natriuretic Peptide

Also written as BNP.

Nonimaging tests are best used in combination with a\nnatriuretic peptide or NT-pro-brain natriuretic peptide.

What our notes say

Nonimaging tests are best used in combination with a\nnatriuretic peptide or NT-pro-brain natriuretic peptide. (Harrisons Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine)
| Brain Natriuretic Peptide (BNP/NT-proBNP) | Cardiac stretch and volume overload | Elevated BNP/NT-proBNP (cardiogenic pulmonary oedema, heart failure) | (Pulmonary oedema and ARDS)
Brain natriuretic peptide levels, when substantially ele- atelectasis. (Harrisons Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine)
\n\n The closely related brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) primarily involves the right ventricle, pressures in the 57 (Harrisons Cardiovascular Medicine 2nd Edition 2)
Brain natriuretic peptide levels, when subof blood from the left to the right ventricle and may visu- stantially elevated, support heart failure as the etiology (Harrisons Cardiovascular Medicine 2nd Edition 2)
