Key result
Hypertension is linked to ~88% higher ANP levels and elevated lipids versus healthy controls.
Why the study?
The study was designed to assess atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) and lipid profile levels in patients with hypertension.
Are atrial natriuretic peptide and lipid profile levels altered in patients with hypertension compared to healthy controls?
Case-Control (n=100)
No
Are atrial natriuretic peptide and lipid profile levels altered in patients with hypertension compared to healthy controls?
Patients with hypertension exhibit significantly elevated levels of atrial natriuretic peptide and an atherogenic lipid profile compared to healthy individuals.
ANP and lipid changes in hypertension may signal risk; leaves open any diagnostic role pending larger prospective studies.
The present study was designed to assessment of atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) and lipid profile of patients with hypertension in Thi-Qar province, Iraq.The sample included 70 patients, who were attending Al-Nasiryiah heart center during the period from February 2019 to June 2019, with 30 healthy as a control group.The results showed a significant increase.(P≤0.05) of systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) in hypertension patients compared with the control group.The level of atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) showed a significant increase (P≤0.05) in patients compared with control group.Also the result indicated a significant increase (P≤0.05) of TC, TG, LDL and VLDL in patients compared with the control, while there was a significant decrease in HDL of patients compared with the control.

A 2021 study conducted a case-control in Hypertension (n=100). Hypertension vs. Healthy controls was evaluated on Atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) level (pg/ml) (p=≤0.05). Patients with hypertension had significantly higher serum levels of atrial natriuretic peptide (185.03 vs 98.62 pg/ml) and elevated total cholesterol, triglycerides, and LDL compared to healthy controls.
