Association of BNP, NTproBNP, and early postnatal pulmonary hypertension in very preterm infants

Association of BNP, NTproBNP, and early postnatal pulmonary hypertension in very preterm infants

Summary Objective B‐type natriuretic peptide (BNP) has been shown to correlate with pulmonary hypertension (PH) in term neonates with persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn or congenital diaphragmatic hernia, and in very preterm infants with bronchopulmonary dysplasia. This study investiga...

Zusammenfassung:Summary Objective B‐type natriuretic peptide (BNP) has been shown to correlate with pulmonary hypertension (PH) in term neonates with persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn or congenital diaphragmatic hernia, and in very preterm infants with bronchopulmonary dysplasia. This study investigated the potential association of BNP and N‐terminal‐pro‐BNP (NTproBNP) and PH within the first 72 hr of life in very preterm infants. Methods Preterm infants
