proBNP tests can be very useful for differentiation between<br />
physiological and pathological cardiac hypertrophy.<br />
Better knowledge of BNP behavior under physio-logical<br />
conditions should be useful for proper assessment of load<br />
in athletes as well as for correct interpretation of BNP<br />
results after physical exercise..<br />

It’s interesting that at least one published work states<br />
that the NT-proBNP test can be useful in senior endurance<br />
runners screening. Sahlen et al. published two articles<br />
related to the problem: “Predisposing factors and consequences<br />
of elevated biomarker levels in long-distance runners<br />
aged >or=55 years” (2009) and “Magnitude, re-producibility,<br />
and association with baseline cardiac function<br />
of cardiac biomarker release in long-distance run-ners<br />
aged > or =55 years” (2008). The aim of both studies was<br />
to assess the magnitude and reproducibility of biomarker<br />
release in athletes aged > or =55 years. One hundred<br />
eighty-five participants where included (61.1 +/- 5 years;<br />
29% women) at a 30-km cross-country race who were<br />
self-reportedly in excellent health. Before and after the<br />
race, the creatinine, N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide<br />
(NT-proBNP), and troponin T were analyzed, and participation<br />
in the number of previous races and the race<br />
duration were recorded. NT-proBNP increased from 53<br />
ng/L (interquartile range 31 to 89) to 121 ng/L (interquartile<br />
range 79 to 184) and troponin T from undetectable to<br />
0.01 microg/L (interquartile range 0.01 to 0.04). The independent<br />
predictors of a large NT-proBNP increase were<br />
(1) greater levels present at baseline, (2) a greater increase<br />
in creatinine (both p
