  • Biological variation of ischaemia-modified albumin in healthy subjects 
    Govender, Radha; De Greef, Jacques; Delport, Rhena; Becker, Piet J.; Vermaak, William J.H. (Clinics Cardiv, 2008-05)
    AIM: Ischaemia-modified albumin (IMA), as measured by the albumin-cobalt binding (ACB) test®, has been cleared by the US Food and Drug administration as a biomarker to exclude the presence of myocardial ischaemia in patients. ...
  • Does dipyridamole-induced ischaemia affect NT-proBNP secretion? 
    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 ...
  • NT-proBNP and the diagnosis of exercise-induced myocardial ischaemia 
    De Greef, Jacques; Funk, Maryke; Vermaak, William J.H.; Perumal, Nalini S.; Libhaber, Carlos D.; Vangu, Mboyo-Di-Tamba (Clinics Cardiv, 2008-09)
    BACKROUND: Amino terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) is a sensitive marker of ventricular dysfunction. Exercise causes an increase in the secretion of NT-proBNP, and with myocardial ischaemia the increase ...
