| Popis: | Brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) is released from ventricular myocites due to their stretching and volume overload. In heart failure there is BNP release. Aim of this study was to observe BNP release in acute myocardial infarction (AMI). We measured BNP in 75 patients with AMI. Control group (n=61) was similar by age and gender to AMI group. We found statistically significant elevation of BNP compared to controls (462.875 pg/ml vs 35.356 pg/ml,p< 0.001). Patients with severe systolic dysfunction had the highest BNP levels, while patients with the preserved systolic function had the lowest BNP levels (Group with EF51% BNP= 189.566 pg/ml, p |
