OBJECTIVE To test the diagnostic performance of BNP and NT-ProBNP in children with different hemodynamic dysfunctions. METHODS Seventy children who underwent echocardiography and were classified into left and right ventricle volume and pressure overload (LVvO, LVpO, RVvO, and RVpO, respectively) and biventricular volume overload (BVvO) were enrolled. RESULTS BNP and NT-ProBNP levels in all groups were higher than those in the control group (p<0.001, p<0.001). The increase in peptide levels was strongly correlated with the severity of heart failure (p<0.001, p<0.001). There was no significant difference in peptide levels in-between LVvO, LVpO, RVvO, RVpO and BVvO groups. Both measurements were significantly correlated (r=0.76, p<0.001) with each other. NT-ProBNP showed a high sensitivity, whereas BNP showed a high specificity and accuracy. AUCs in ROC-curve were 0.97 for BNP and 0.96 for NT-ProBNP. CONCLUSIONS NT-ProBNP may be used in screening of risk groups for cardiac failure because of its' higher sensitivity, but BNP may be specifically used in monitoring patients with heart failure.

D009202 Cardiomyopathies A group of diseases in which the dominant feature is the involvement of the CARDIAC MUSCLE itself. Cardiomyopathies are classified according to their predominant pathophysiological features (DILATED CARDIOMYOPATHY; HYPERTROPHIC CARDIOMYOPATHY; RESTRICTIVE CARDIOMYOPATHY) or their etiological/pathological factors (CARDIOMYOPATHY, ALCOHOLIC; ENDOCARDIAL FIBROELASTOSIS).

D011237 Predictive Value of Tests In screening and diagnostic tests, the probability that a person with a positive test is a true positive (i.e., has the disease), is referred to as the predictive value of a positive test; whereas, the predictive value of a negative test is the probability that the person with a negative test does not have the disease. Predictive value is related to the sensitivity and specificity of the test.
