[Relationship between activity of atrial natriuretic peptide and process of myocardial remodelling in patients with cardiac failure].

Abstract

Echocardioscopy in M- and B-modes with measurement of routine parameters of central hemodynamics and thickness of carotid intimal-medial segment as well as radioimmunoassay of plasma concentrations of atrial natriuretic peptide (ANUP) were performed in 159 patients aged 42-63 years (17 healthy subjects and 142 patients with cardiac failure associated with ischemic heart disease and sinus rhythm, without history of myocardial infarction). The results were indicative of possible use of ANUP as a marker of initial cardiac insufficiency and a corrector of the disease prognosis.
