Abstract:

B-type natriuretic peptide(BNP) and N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide(NT-proBNP) are blood markers secreted by cardiomyocytes and sensitive indicators reflecting cardiac structure and function. There is no consensus on the reference ranges of plasma levels of BNP and NT-proBNP in neonates,but many studies have explored the application in the diagnosis assessment,therapeutic monitoring and prognostic evaluation for neonatal cardiovascular diseases. This review mainly summarizes the above aspects in order to provide guidance for clinical application.

Key words: B-type natriuretic peptide, N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide, Neonate, Cardiovascular disease, Therapeutic monitoring, Prognosis
