Analytical performance and clinical results of a fully automated MEIA system for brain natriuretic peptide assay: comparison with a point of care testing method

The aim of this study was to evaluate the analytical performance of a recently available immunoassay for brain natriuretic peptide (BNP), based on microparticle enzyme immunoassay (MEIA, AxSYM System, Abbott Laboratories), whose analytical characteristics and clinical results were compared with those of a point of care testing (POCT) method (TRIAGE system, Biosite Diagnostics)...

Cardiac natriuretic peptides after myocardial infarction: relationship with infarct size, left ventricular function and remodelling assessed by 99mTc-sestamibi gated-single photon emission tomography

Background: The aim of the study was to investigate the potential relationship between A-type (atrial) and B-type (brain) natriuretic peptides (ANP, BNP) and infarct size (IS), left ventricular (LV) function and remodelling as assessed by 99m technetium-hexakis-2-methoxy-isobutyl-isonitrile (99mTc-sestamibi) gated-single photon emission tomography (G-SPET).

Methods: Plasma concentrations of ANP and BNP in peripheral blood were measured in 54 patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) and previous myocardial infarction (MI)...
