Abstrakt: Arginine vasopressin levels in 17 neonates with cardiac disease were compared with control levels in 10 healthy newborn infants. Infants with congestive heart failure who were free of left ventricular outflow tract obstruction had a mean level of 80 ± 18 pg/ml, which was significantly greater than the mean control level (p < 0.001). Infants with congestive heart failure and left ventricular outflow tract obstruction had a mean vasopressin level of 3 ± 0.7 pg/ml, which was lower than the mean control level of 6 ± 0.7 pg/ml (p < 0.05).
