Which of the following is a marker of myocardial stretch:<\/strong>
\na) BNP
\nb) Troponin
\nc) Myoglobin
\nd) Galectin 3
\nCorrect answer: a) BNP<\/strong>
\nBNP and\u00a0NT-pro-BNP are markers of myocardial stretch which can be markedly increased in heart failure. They can also be used to differentiate between constrictive pericarditis and restrictive cardiomyopathy as there is no myocardial stretch in constrictive pericarditis.
\nTroponin is a marker of myocardial necrosis and so is myoglobin, though the former is highly specific while the latter is non-specific.
\nGalectin 3 is a new biomarker protein,\u00a0a member of the lectin family. It is associated with activation of macrophages and fibroblasts. This results in secretion\u00a0procollagen I which is cross linked to form collagen. Hence Galectin 3 can be considered as a marker of cardiac fibrosis.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
