B-Type Natriuretic Peptide Predicts Adverse Cardiovascular Events in Pediatric Outpatients With Chronic Left Ventricular Systolic Dysfunction

Abstract: Background-Plasma B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) levels are elevated in adults with heart failure and correlate with functional classification and prognosis. The range and predictive power of BNP concentrations in children with chronic heart failure, however, are not known.

“…18 -20 A BNP level Ͼ300 pg/mL has been shown to predict death, transplantation, or heart failure hospitalization and was more strongly correlated with poor outcome than symptoms or echocardiographic findings. 20 BNP levels can be different in children with DCM and congenital heart disease, despite similar New York Heart Association class, ejection fraction, and maximal oxygen consumption. 21 If replicated in a larger study, this finding has implications for the interpretation of information on neurohormonal activation in different pediatric populations.…”

“…(37) Also, BNP and NT-proBNP levels are higher in children with newly diagnosed heart failure or those with acute exacerbations of chronic heart failure; higher BNP levels predict poor prognosis; improved BNP levels suggest improved ventricular function; following complex heart surgery, BNP is predictive of heart failure and BNP might be helpful as a marker of anthracycline induced myocardial toxicity.
