Background: B-Type natriuretic peptide (BNP1-32) as well as the N-terminal fragment of the prohormone containing residues 1-76 (NT-proBNP1-76), both cleavage products of the precursor proBNP1-108, are reported to be powerful markers for prognosis and risk stratification of heart failure. However, the intact precursor also circulates in the bloodstream. Assays for the detection of these cleavage products have been developed, but most of these assays may overestimate the concentrations of the cleavage products because they also measure the precursor form.

A biventricular assistance device has been implanted in a young woman for a peripartum cardiac failure. An intended weaning consisted of gradual reloading and exercise training monitored with peak oxygen consumption (VO(2)) and radionuclide-left ventricle ejection fraction. Progressive increase in peak VO(2) during partial assistance occurred more than 2 months, from 10.
