Brain natriuretic peptide predicts forced vital capacity of the lungs, oxygen pulse and peak oxygen consumption in physiological condition
2013, PeptidesCitation Excerpt :In literature this was explained by the fact that exercise might generate transitory ishaemia, increase of wall stress and diastolic dysfunction [5] which is stimuli for NT-pro-BNP secretion [20,22] in order to obtain further necessary regulation of cardiac function in stress condition. Also, the response of NT-pro-BNP during physical activity is lesser in athletes with physiological hypertrophy than in patients with pathological hypertrophy [64], with proven correlation of NT-pro-BNP and LVM in both [3,12], and supporting this finding cytoprotective growth regulating significance of NT-pro-BNP was predicted [48]. In this study all the groups had similar response of NT-pro-BNP, but wrestlers had lower mean values than control population in all phases, which could mean lower myocardial stress in this group of athletes.
The interface of hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenocortical axis and circulating brain natriuretic peptide in prediction of cardiopulmonary performance during physical stress
2013, PeptidesCitation Excerpt :The increase of NT-pro-BNP can be explained by the fact that exercise might generate transitory ischemia, increase of wall stress and diastolic dysfunction [6], which are stimuli for the NT-pro-BNP secretion [36,47], in order to obtain further necessary regulation of cardiac function in stress condition. Besides, the response of NT-pro-BNP during physical activity is lesser in athletes with physiological hypertrophy than in patients with pathological hypertrophy [106], thereby suggesting different adaptative response to stress. Studies also showed altered mean values of BNP at rest in athletes, either decreased [6,15,30,57], or increased [69], and significant negative correlation was found with training duration [70].
Athlete's heart or hypertrophic cardiomyopathy: Usefulness of N-Terminal pro-Brain Natriuretic Peptide
2009, International Journal of CardiologyCitation Excerpt :Many authors are therefore attracted to NT-proBNP for etiological assessment of hypertrophy in athletes. Yamazaki et al., in the only such study to date [6], found significantly higher NT-proBNP levels in 3 trained runners recently diagnosed with HCM, compared to 7 healthy trained runners. The present study is, to our knowledge, the first to use NT-proBNP assay for distinction between physiological or pathological hypertrophy in athletes.
