Why the study?
Do plasma concentrations of atrial natriuretic peptides correlate with left ventricular systolic and diastolic function in patients with chronic heart failure?
Do plasma concentrations of atrial natriuretic peptides correlate with left ventricular systolic and diastolic function in patients with chronic heart failure?
In patients with chronic heart failure, plasma concentrations of atrial natriuretic peptides independently correlate with both left ventricular systolic and diastolic function.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Suggests atrial natriuretic peptides may serve as non-invasive markers of severe diastolic dysfunction.
Wijbenga et al. (1999) studied this question.
