Aim: To examine whether N-terminal proCNP concentrations in serum is associated with bone destruction in patients with multiple myeloma.
Materials & Methods: N-terminal proCNP and biochemical bone markers were measured in 153 patients. Radiographic bone disease and skeletal-related events were evaluated at specific time-points.
Results: N-terminal proCNP concentrations increased with age. High N-terminal proCNP concentrations were associated with high-risk disease and renal impairment. Renal function explained 22% of the variation. N-terminal proCNP concentrations correlated with serum bone ALP and serum PINP, but lacked association with bone resorption markers, radiographic bone disease and skeletal-related events.
Conclusion: Serum N-terminal proCNP are associated with bone formation activity in patients with multiple myeloma, but should be interpreted with caution in patients with renal impairment.

Background/aim: Exercise enhances endothelium-dependent vasodilation; however, it is unclear whether intermittent exercise has a different effect on vascular endothelial function compared to continuous exercise. This study aimed to compare vascular endothelial function following intermittent exercise including short rest intervals with continuous exercise, both at the anaerobic threshold level.
Materials And Methods: Peak oxygen consumption (VO peak) and anaerobic threshold were measured in physically active healthy young men (n = 12) by breath-by-breath analysis.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigated the prognostic value of N-terminal pro-C-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proCNP) in predicting survival rates after transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR), a procedure often performed on elderly patients with heart conditions.
- The analysis included 309 patients over a median follow-up of 32 months, revealing that higher NT-proCNP levels and higher Society of Thoracic Surgeons (STS) scores were both linked to increased mortality risks.
- NT-proCNP demonstrated better predictive power than NT-proBNP, especially in patients with left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) below 50%, indicating its potential use in clinical risk assessments for TAVR patients.

Amino-terminal pro-C-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proCNP) is the N-terminal fragment of the CNP precursor. NT-proCNP occurs in an equimolar concentration with CNP in human plasma and is considered to be a marker of the extent of CNP biosynthesis. A recent study has shown associations between plasma NT-proCNP and blood pressure; it is also an independent predictor of death and cardiac readmission in people with unstable angina.

We investigated the influence of AF on the prognostic performance of circulating biomarkers in HF.
Methods: N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP), mid-regional-pro-atrial natriuretic peptide, C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP), NT-proCNP, high-sensitivity troponin-T, high-sensitivity troponin-I, mid-regional-propeptide adrenomedullin, co-peptin, growth differentiation factor-15, soluble Suppressor of Tumorigenicitiy (sST2), galectin-3, and procalcitonin plasma concentrations were measured in a prospective, multicenter study of adults with HF.

Background: C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP) and its co-product N-terminal proCNP (NTproCNP) have been associated with beneficial effects on the cardiovascular system. In prevalent dialysis patients, however, a relation between NTproCNP and mortality has not yet been investigated. Furthermore, as a middle molecular weight substance, its concentration might be influenced by dialysis modality.
