Document Details : Title: BNP and NT-proBNP elevation after running – a systematic review Author(s): E.M. Vilela , R. Bettencourt-Silva , J.P.L. Nunes , V.G. Ribeiro Journal: Acta Cardiologica Volume: 70 Issue: 5 Date: 2015 Pages: 501-509 DOI: 10.2143/AC.70.5.3110509 Abstract : Objective: A systematic review was carried out to study the pattern of BNP and NT-proBNP release after running. Methods: Data were collected by searching the PubMed, ISI Web of Knowledge and Scopus databases. Results: Fifty-three reports were identified as meeting the pre-specified criteria. Twenty-seven reports, representing 1,034 participants, presented data comparing post-running BNP or NT-proBNP levels with a pre-specified cut-off. Values exceeding the upper reference limit were seen in 22.9% and 35.9% of runners, respectively. Conclusion: Studies have shown post-running values exceeding the upper reference limit in up to a third of runners. |
