Correlation of Brain Natriuretic Peptide and Microalbuminuria in Patients with Heart Failure

Issue: 
Pages: 
658–61
Synopsis: 
This present study indicated that the plasma levels of NTproBNP and MAU increased synchronously in pace with the aggravation of heart failure, and there was a positive correlation between MAU and NT-proBNP. To some extent, monitoring MAU might replace monitoring NTproBNP in patients with heart failure.
ABSTRACT
 
Objective: To evaluate the changes of plasma levels of N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic pepide (NTproBNP) and microalbuminuria (MAU) in patients with heart failure and the correlation between them.

Characteristics, Treatment and Short-term Survival of Patients with Heart Failure in a Cardiology Private Practice in Jamaica

Issue: 
Pages: 
139–43
Synopsis: 
A retrospective analysis of outpatients with heart failure revealed rates of angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor and β blocker use similar to those achieved in recent randomized trials. Short-term survival was high.

ABSTRACT

Background: Randomized clinical trials have demonstrated improvement in mortality with angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEIs), β blockers and aldosterone antagonists. The use of these lifesaving
treatments remain inadequate.

Aim: To determine the clinical features, aetiology, treatment and short-term survival of heart failure in a cardiology private practice in Jamaica.
