Hemodynamically significant patent arterial duct in premature infants can be the reason of life-threatening complications. Thus it is topical to define the high risk of such complications and mortality in early neonatal period. We have reviewed researches results covering prognostic value of natriuretic peptides level in premature infants with hemodynamically significant patent arterial duct. The data on management planning of such patients according to the A-type and B-type natriuretic peptides levels is presented.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
