| Popis: | OBJECTIVE—To compare circulating concentrations of N terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (N-BNP) and cardiotrophin 1 in stable and unstable angina. DESIGN AND SETTING—Observational study in a teaching hospital. PATIENTS—15 patients with unstable angina, 10 patients with stable angina, and 15 controls. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES—Resting plasma N-BNP and cardiotrophin 1 concentrations. RESULTS—N-BNP concentration (median (range)) was 714 fmol/ml (177-3217 fmol/ml) in unstable angina, 169.5 fmol/ml (105.7-399.5 fmol/ml) in stable angina (p = 0.005 v unstable angina), and 150.5 fmol/ml (104.7-236.9 fmol/ml) in controls (p |
