De Greef, Jacques; Govender, Radha; Vermaak, William J.H.; Perumal, Nalini S.; Libhaber, Elena; Vangu, Mboyo-Di-Tamba (Clinics Cardiv, 2007-11)

BACKGROUND: B-type natriuretic peptide(BNP) and the inactive amino-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) have a prognostic value in heart failure and in myocardial infarction. There has been some evidence ...
A systematic review exploring the significance of measuring epicardial fat thickness in correlation to B-type natriuretic peptide levels as prognostic and diagnostic markers in patients with or at risk of heart failure

Nyawo, Thembeka A.; Dludla, Phiwayinkosi V.; Mazibuko-Mbeje, Sithandiwe E.; Mthembu, Sinenhlanhla X.H.; Nyambuya, Tawanda M.; Nkambule, Bongani B.; Sadie-Van Gijsen, Hanel; Strijdom, Hans; Pheiffer, Carmen (Springer, 2022-03)
