Hypertension is one of the main risk factors for developing left ventricle failure. The study was conducted at outpatient Clinic – Medlife, Memorial Hospital. It was an observational study. We analyzed the exercise-induced secretion of NT-pro BNP in hypertensive patients with normal ejection fraction and no symptoms or signs of heart failure. Comparing the levels of NT-pro BNP before and after exercise proved to be a good mean for diagnosing left ventricular dysfunction (LVD) in hypertensive patients with left ventricular remodeling.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
