Summary:

       Increased plasmatic concentration of brain-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) is a sensitive and specific marker of left ventricular dysfunction in adults with cardiovascular diseases. However, such data in children are lacking. Authors of the review focus on the relationship between BNP concentration in plasma and cardiovascular morbidity in children at risk.

        Key words: brain-type natriuretic peptide, cardiovascular risk, children
