Key result
Plasma proatrial natriuretic factor (1-98) concentrations were significantly related to left ventricular ejection fraction (r = -0.33; P = 0.008) and creatinine clearance (r = -0.53; P < 0.001).
Why the study?
Does plasma proatrial natriuretic factor (1-98) concentration correlate with left ventricular systolic and diastolic performance in patients with acute myocardial infarction?
Cross-Sectional (n=64)
No
Does plasma proatrial natriuretic factor (1-98) concentration correlate with left ventricular systolic and diastolic performance in patients with acute myocardial infarction?
Effect estimate: r = -0.33
p-value: p=0.008
Plasma proatrial natriuretic factor (1-98) measurements may be a useful screening tool to identify patients with normal cardiac function soon after myocardial infarction.

ProANF(1-98) was associated with LVEF and creatinine clearance post-MI; hypothesis-generating for biomarker screening and requires prospective validation.
Bonarjee et al. (1995) conducted a cross-sectional in acute myocardial infarction (n=64). Plasma proatrial natriuretic factor (1-98) was evaluated on Relation between plasma proatrial natriuretic factor (1-98) concentrations and echocardiographic indices of left ventricular systolic function (r = -0.33, p=0.008). Plasma proatrial natriuretic factor (1-98) concentrations were significantly related to left ventricular ejection fraction (r = -0.33; P = 0.008) and creatinine clearance (r = -0.53; P < 0.001).
