RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN PLASMA LEVEL OF ANP AND DOPPLER ECHOCARDIOGRAPHY PARAMETERS IN PATIENTS WITH LEFT VENTRICULAR DIASTOLIC DYSFUNCTION / 解放军医学杂志

ABSTRACT

To investigate the relationship between the level of plasma atrial natriuretic peptides(ANP) and doppler echocardiography parameters in patients with left ventricular diastolic dysfunction, the patients were divided into four groups according to echocardiography parameters and their plasma levels of ANP, which were determined simultaneously.The results showed that along with left ventricular diastolic function was impaired, the level of ANP increased.There were significant relationships between the level of ANP and LAD, E/A, LVDd, LVDs, EDV, ESV, IVRT, DT, S/D, LVEF, LVFS, except for Pva and Pva dur. The results of this study suggest that the level of plasma ANP is a reliable marker of left ventricular diastolic dysfunction.
