B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) is a cardiac neurohormone that is secreted from the left ventricle in response to volume and pressure overload as occurs in patients with congestive heart failure. NT-proBNP has now become a useful tool in the diagnosis of congestive heart failure and in the management of patients with acute dyspnea. In recent years, several studies showed that NT-proBNP levels may be influenced by thyroid diseases. However, there aren’t data on the elderly population, a group of patients in whom the incidence of both thyroid diseases and heart failure is frequent ,. The aim of this study was to assess the levels of NT-proBNP in a group of elderly patients with dyspnea and thyroid disease and without congestive heart failure. …

WHO estimates that half of all patients worldwide are non-adherent to their prescribed medication. The consequences of poor adherence can be catastrophic, on both the individual and population level.

Join our expert panel to discover why you need to understand the drivers of non-adherence in your patients, and how you can optimize medication adherence in your clinics to drastically improve patient outcomes.
