Article Abstract

To investigate the association of initial brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) and N-terminal pro-BNP (NT-proBNP) with the detection of sepsis-induced myocardial dysfunction (SIMD) in the setting of Sepsis 3.0. Three databases were searched to analyze initial BNP and NT-proBNP levels between SIMD and non-SIMD groups. Eighteen studies were included, most of which defined SIMD based on echocardiography. The SIMD group exhibited higher initial BNP and NT-proBNP levels in blood. NT-proBNP higher than a certain cutoff value (>3000 pg/ml) was an independent risk factor for SIMD and its accuracy for SIMD diagnosis was moderate (pooled area under the curve: 0.81). Initial blood BNP and NT-proBNP levels are useful to assist in the detection of SIMD and further studies are warranted to determine the SIMD definition.

The systematic -analysis was conducted to evaluate the clinical efficacy of Traditional Chinese Exercises (TCE) in the rehabilitation of patients with chronic heart failure (CHF). The findings provide evidence-based support for the implementation of non-pharmacological interventions in the management of CHF. A systematic search of PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, and Embase (up to November 2024) identified RCTs evaluating Traditional Chinese Exercise (TCE) for chronic heart failure rehabilitation.

Early diagnostic utility of BNP and NT-proBNP for cardioembolic stroke: A head-to-head comparison in the hyperacute and early acute phase.

Background: Cardioembolic (CE) stroke is a common and often severe subtype of ischemic stroke, but early and accurate differentiation from other stroke types remains challenging. Brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) and N-terminal pro-BNP (NT-proBNP) have emerged as promising biomarkers, yet direct comparative studies evaluating their diagnostic utility in the hyperacute and early acute phase are limited.

Methods: This prospective study included 165 patients who presented with acute stroke symptoms within twenty-four hours of onset at a single tertiary center.

: Doxorubicin is a chemotherapeutic agent whose clinical use is limited by side effects (SEs). The most common SE is doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity (DIC), for which there is still no prevention. The hypothesis arises that active substances of natural origin could influence DIC prevention by affecting several pathways of DIC occurrence.

To evaluate the dose-dependent renoprotective effects of sacubitril/valsartan in heart failure patients. This retrospective observational study included patients with heart failure (Stage B or higher, B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) >100 pg/mL or N-terminal proBNP >300 pg/mL) who initiated sacubitril/valsartan (SV) treatment. Patients were classified by final SV daily dose (50, 100, 200, or 400 mg) at 18 months.
