Are plasma levels of brain natriuretic peptide increased in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy?
This letter discusses the role of brain natriuretic peptide as a cardiac hormone in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
Plasma BNP may rise in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy; leaves open its diagnostic or prognostic utility.
To the Editor: Brain natriuretic peptide was originally isolated from the mammalian brain1,2 and acts as a cardiac hormone resembling atrial natriuretic peptide3,4. Brain natriuretic peptide is syn...
