Cardiac inflammation (myocarditis, cardiac allograft rejection).

Cost-effective screen for left ventricular dysfunction positive findings would point to the need for echocardiography and further assessmentīNP is secreted in response to increased hemodynamic load caused by physiological stimuli, as with ventricular stretch or endocrine stimuli from the aldosterone/renin system.

Assist in differentiating heart failure from pulmonary disease.

Assist in the diagnosis of heart failure.

Assist in determining the prognosis and therapy of patients with heart failure.

The testing laboratory should be consulted to verify whether test measurements are affected by Natrecor.

Nesiritide (Natrecor) is a recombinant form of BNP that may be given therapeutically by IV to patients in acutely decompensated heart failure with some assays, BNP levels may be transiently and significantly elevated at the time of administration and must be interpreted with caution. high alertPatients receiving Nesiritide.A rapid BNP point-of-care immunoassay may be performed, in which a venous blood sample is collected, placed on a strip, and inserted into a device that measures BNP. Circulating levels of BNP and proBNP increase in proportion to the severity of heart failure. BNP or brain natriuretic peptide, first isolated in the brain of pigs, is a neurohormone synthesized primarily in the ventricles of the human heart in response to increases in ventricular pressure and volume. BNP, proBNP, and ANP are useful markers in the diagnosis of congestive heart failure (CHF).

The peptides B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) and atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) are antagonists of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system, which assist in the regulation of electrolytes, fluid balance, and blood pressure.
