Abstract

The purpose of this study was to analyze brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) serum levels of patients with chronic subdural hematoma (cSDH) and their clinical implication. Patients with cSDH who underwent surgery in our department between November 2016 and October 2019 were eligible for enrollment in the study. Patients with recurrent bleedings, traumatic brain injury, cSDH associated with other intracranial pathologies, and those with a history of congestive heart failure, renal or endocrine disease were excluded. We measured BNP serum levels pre- and post-operatively and at discharge. The BNP values were analyzed with respect to patient medical history and neurological condition. The Glasgow Coma Scale score and the modified Rankin Scale score classified the clinical and neurological condition at the time of admission and discharge, respectively. The data of 100 surgically treated patients with cSDH (mean age 73.2, range 42 - 94 years, male/female 3.5:1) were analyzed. Pre-operative BNP serum levels (BNP-1) were elevated in 67% of the patients (n = 67; median = 101.6 pg/mL; p < 0.001). These serum levels increased after surgery (p < 0.001) and decreased thereafter (p < 0.001), reaching a level at discharge (day 7) that was not st...Continue Reading

Atrial Filbrillation

Atrial fibrillation refers to the abnormal heart rhythm characterized by rapid and irregular beating of the atria. Here is the latest research.

Atrial Fibrillation

Atrial fibrillation is a common arrhythmia that is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality, particularly due to stroke and thromboembolism. Here is the latest research.

Arrhythmia

Arrhythmias are abnormalities in heart rhythms, which can be either too fast or too slow. They can result from abnormalities of the initiation of an impulse or impulse conduction or a combination of both. Here is the latest research on arrhythmias.

Brain Injury & Trauma

brain injury after impact to the head is due to both immediate mechanical effects and delayed responses of neural tissues.
