Natriuretic peptides in elderly patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

Abstract: Background Natriuretic peptides (NPs) are considered a useful tool for diagnosing the cardiac or pulmonary origin of acute dyspnea in the emergency department. The aim of this study was to evaluate NP in elderly patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Materials and methods In the PubMed and Hinari databases, we identified 465 comprehensive articles in English, published in the years 1990–2021, which provided information on natri… Show more

“…BNP is predominantly produced by cardiomyocytes due to myocardial wall stress and its increase is related to the overload of cardiac volumes in various cardiac pathologies [67][68][69]. We assume that the findings in our subjects might be associated with repeated intermittent mild hypoxia, which stimulates the production of natriuretic peptides and plays an important role in the development of cardiac structural changes [70,71]. A significant inverse moderate correlation between BNP and HMR in cardiac 123I-MIBG imaging was observed in patients with congestive heart failure in previous studies [72,73].…”

“…2 To illustrate, two studies evaluated NT-proBNP in terms of sensitivity, specificity and predictive values, but used different cut-off values. 27 , 39 Given that levels of BNP and NT-proBNP are already elevated in stable COPD patients, 16 , 17 during an AECOPD, 4 , 43 and in the elderly with COPD, 4 , 27 , 43 it would be advisable to apply higher cut-off values for the differential diagnosis of acute dyspnea in these patients. Before the AHF diagnostic workflow can be specified for COPD patients, future research should define and validate an optimal cut-off value for BNP and NT-pro BNP with not only a high sensitivity, but also a high specificity.…”

“…As an inflammatory factor, CRP will increase in standard when blood vessels are damaged. Also, low standards of hemoglobin can easily induce cerebral embolism [ 14 ]. Comparatively, according to the clinical data of cardiogenic cerebral embolism group and noncardiogenic cerebral embolism group, the hemoglobin and serum NT-proBNP standards of cardiogenic cerebral embolism group were significantly higher than those of noncardiogenic cerebral embolism group.…”
