“…Abbreviations: BNP, B-type natriuretic peptide; CHD, Coronary heart disease; ETT, electrocardiogram test; NT-proBNP, N-terminal proBNP Our study is in agreement with that reporting higher BNP concentrations but similar incremental BNP concentrations in patients with myocardial ischaemia compared with controls, 11 but differs from that reporting similar NTproBNP concentrations in patients with and without electrocardiographic myocardial ischaemia, 12 and also differs from those reporting increased incremental BNP responses in those with myocardial ischaemia compared with controls.…”

“…12 The more limited extent of ischemia may be reflected by the fact that BNP levels rise acutely during exercise but not during dobutamine-induced ischemia. [11][12][13][14] This finding is consistent with that of Ikonomidis et al, 2 who show that with larger induced ischemic territories the change in IL-6 level is greater. Many researchers in the fields of proteomics and metabolomics are actively pursuing biomarker strategies for assessing reversible and irreversible myocardial ischemia.…”

“…[17][18][19][20][21] Other studies of stable subjects without acute coronary syndrome show that BNP and NT-proBNP predict all-cause mortality and cardiovascular events, although MI risk was not specifically examined in these studies. [7][8][9] Plasma BNP level predicted dopamineinduced myocardial ischemia in patients with known or suspected coronary heart disease, 32 suggesting that increased BNP levels may be associated with subclinical cardiac ischemia and therefore increased risk of MI. Our study provides additional new information by demonstrating that NT-proBNP predicts MI in stable patients, most of whom did not have a history of coronary heart disease.…”
