(Summary description)First understand the difference between "brain natriuretic peptide" and "amino-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide"

N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) and BNP have the same biological source, and both are used for clinical testing. After ventricular myocytes are stimulated by pressure, they produce a B-type natriuretic peptide precursor (pre-proBNP) containing 134 amino acids, and then the signal peptide is removed to form a BNP precursor containing 108 amino acids (proBNP).

First understand the difference between "brain natriuretic peptide" and "amino-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide"

N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) and BNP have the same biological source, and both are used for clinical testing. After ventricular myocytes are stimulated by pressure, they produce a B-type natriuretic peptide precursor (pre-proBNP) containing 134 amino acids, and then the signal peptide is removed to form a BNP precursor containing 108 amino acids (proBNP).

 

Under the action of endonuclease, proBNP is cleaved into NT-proBNP with 76 amino acids and no biological activity and BNP with 32 amino acids and biological activity. The two are released into the blood at a ratio of 1:1. Although the clearance of the two in the body is different, under most physiological and pathological conditions, the levels of the two in the blood show a certain correlation. Therefore, both can be used for the diagnosis and prognosis assessment of heart failure, and the clinical application results are the same.

Brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) is also called B-type natriuretic peptide and B-type natriuretic peptide, but the most formal name is B-type natriuretic peptide. It is named for its powerful natriuretic, diuretic, vasodilator and blood pressure effects that were isolated from pig brain for the first time. NT-proBNP and BNP are currently the most important cardiac function biomarkers.

 

 

 

 

Note: The longer the half-life, the higher the concentration in the body, which is easier to detect; in addition, it can reflect the changes in heart function over a longer period of time.

The better the stability, the better the detection. Degradation is too fast, and the test results cannot faithfully reflect changes in cardiac function.

 

Secondly, understand the risk stratification and prognosis interpretation

BNP and (or) NT-proBNP can predict the long-term risk of death in patients with heart failure, have high specificity and sensitivity for the diagnosis of heart failure, and are positively correlated with the severity of heart failure.

 

● (1) NT-proBNP>5000pg/mL indicates that patients with heart failure have a higher risk of short-term death; >1000pg/mL may indicate a higher risk of long-term death in patients with heart failure.

 

● (2) Dynamic monitoring of BNP or NT-proBNP can be used as an auxiliary means to evaluate the efficacy of heart failure, and the level of BNP and (or) NT-proBNP reduction ≥30% can be used as a criterion for effective treatment.

 

● (3) BNP and (or) NT-proBNP levels in patients with heart failure increased significantly during hospitalization, or remained high without falling, or decreased by less than 30%, all of which indicated an increased risk of rehospitalization and death.

 

● (4) BNP or NT-proBNP is a powerful predictor of the development of heart failure or impaired left ventricular systolic function. BNP can also assist in judging the prognosis of patients with chest pain. Elevated BNP or NT-proBNP is associated with serious adverse events and death in patients with pulmonary embolism. BNP is more sensitive and specific than NT-proBNP in detecting right ventricular function.
