Why the study?
Do serial changes in left-sided heart chambers correlate with plasma ANP and NT-proANP levels after a first myocardial infarction?

After a first myocardial infarction, plasma concentrations of ANP and NT-proANP are related to the distension of the left atrium rather than the dilatation of the left ventricle.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
ANP/NT-proANP changes track LA distension, not LV dilatation, after MI; hypothesis-generating for atrial-specific regulation and monitoring.
Jens Svanegaard (1999) studied this question.
