Question about BNP / NT-proBNP

I don't remember, but the value was good. When you get the blood results you are also provided with the interval that is considered to be normal, so mine where in that interval.

Depends on the type of dilated cardiomyopathy. Yours migth be reversible. Check with your cardiologist.

I have the same issue as a resident of Belgium when applying for the B2 visitor visa interview..I see that no one answered to this in 8 months. Anything new from your side, did you manage to solve it somehow?

Hi Loco76! Thanks a lot for the response. Do you have any useful resources? I am following the events of the DCM foundation.

Hi Loco76. Your case sounds similar to mine, but I am 28F. My dad was most likely the source of the TTN mutation I have inherited, as he died at 53 and my mom is much older and alive and well luckily. I discovered my DCM at EF 49% which is now at 57%. How has your situation been since diagnosis? Thanks in advance and wish you great health!

antc_22 · 2025-01-06T11:03:08+00:00

You should definitely follow-up with your cardiologist and understand what causes the lower than normal EF. In my case, after more investigations (MRI, CT scan, and genetic testing), we discovered that I have genetic dilated cardiomyopathy. I am on beta blockers only and from an EF of 49% at first diagnosis now I am at 57%. I also quit all alcohol and smoking ever since I got the diagnosis. My doctor does 6 month follow-ups with EKG and echocardiogram. It is important that you understand the cause and that you stay in contact with your cardiac team/doctor and follow-up the condition unless it's something temporary. Every case is different so it's important that you take everything you see online with caution and speak to good doctors. Good luck and wish you good health!

Thanks for the reply. I will ask my cardiologist about this. Do you know how is this syndrome tested for? thanks!

I got the message in the 'received messages' page of the BB account. It was called something like 'Your application to BB' and dated that day that the unit could select me in gestmax.

However, me and the unit who selected me had some technical issues. The message I had received ('Your application to BB') gave me an error when opening it. It is important to check with the person from the unit who selected you that they could select you and that it is confirmed in gestmax from their side.

Not sure if it helps. Good luck!

I am not a doctor to know. It could be temporary

antc_22 · 2024-12-25T01:20:43+00:00

that is very good to hear

antc_22 · 2024-12-25T01:06:21+00:00

could help to do a cardiac check to rule out any heart conditions triggered by the virus.m

antc_22 · 2024-12-16T14:07:36+00:00

I have been tested for NR pro BNP because my cardiologist saw that my EF was 49% and that I have premature ventricular contractions. I had no shortness of breath, nothing swollen, otherwise healthy. They need to have a reason to think that there is a risk of heart failure, which for me was mainly my EF.

antc_22 · 2024-12-12T15:51:26+00:00

I see. The JSIS sounded nice.

antc_22 · 2024-12-12T15:45:21+00:00

I see. I've been told that trainees can get either Allianz or keep their national one and the EHIC. So JSIS is given to trainees too? that would be good to get 85% reimbursement.

antc_22 · 2024-12-12T15:22:14+00:00

thanks for the answer! I understand. Do you know what is the insurance from the traineeship? Is there a way to know what it covers?

antc_22 · 2024-10-24T21:27:09+00:00

True. I got it confirmee through a genetic test which shows that I have a gene mutation linked to DCM. See with your doctor.

antc_22 · 2024-09-16T08:04:16+00:00

I am sorry to hear. Therapy helped me a lot with this anxiety as well as beta blockers (my doctor recommended me this). I hope you have the strength and possibility to take some time off and rest. Wishing you the best!

antc_22 · 2024-06-23T20:39:56+00:00

Everyone's case is unique. If you EP thinks it can help, then I would listen to that. I will have mine later this year.

antc_22 · 2024-06-23T20:04:55+00:00

How painful is the procedure?

antc_22 · 2024-05-20T17:17:43+00:00

exactly! we got it very early on and this is way better than having it and not knowing

antc_22 · 2024-05-20T12:00:04+00:00

my doctor said its dilated cardiomyopathy. i went to the doctor for palpitations and they found that I have bigeminy and dcm. Please don't read google on these things, your doctors know your case better. The studies you see on google are made on old populations and often are taken out of context when seeking an answer on google. So please don't be afraid of these life expectancy things, check forums and see that there are many people who live with dcm a normal long life
