Key result
Exercise-induced increases in NT-proBNP (p<0.001) were not related to the exercise-induced immune response in healthy endurance athletes.
Why the study?
Does the exercise-induced immune response contribute to the exercise-induced increase in NT-proBNP in healthy athletes?

Distinguishes physiological NT-proBNP rises in athletes from inflammatory elevations in disease; leaves open mechanisms in cardiovascular patients.
Observational (n=14)
Does the exercise-induced immune response contribute to the exercise-induced increase in NT-proBNP in healthy athletes?
Exercise-induced increases in NT-proBNP in healthy athletes are not caused by the exercise-induced immune response, differentiating this physiological response from pathological elevations seen in cardiovascular patients with systemic inflammation.
Scharhag et al. (2008) conducted an observational in healthy endurance athletes (n=14). 4 hours of cycling at 70% of individual anaerobic threshold was evaluated on Relationship between exercise-induced increases in NT-proBNP and exercise-induced immune response. Exercise-induced increases in NT-proBNP (p<0.001) were not related to the exercise-induced immune response in healthy endurance athletes.
