“…Its levels increase in myocardial dysfunction even before symptoms appear [5,6], and can be used in the detection of myocardial involvement with preserved left ventricular ejection fraction such as sarcoid and myocardial ischemia without ST elevation [7,8]. We therefore undertook this study to investigate whether brain natriuretic peptide could be used to estimate functional consequences of For that purpose, 76 regularly transfused, adult, β-thalassemia major patients were recruited (30 males, median age 35 years).…”

B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) reflects volume overload on left ventricle and pulmonary hypertension (PH) in patients with ventricular septal defect (VSD). Pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) has been reported to correlate positively with BNP in VSD patients with various degrees of PH. We aimed to investigate the relationship between PVR and BNP in VSD patients with severe PH. We examined 24 subjects with VSD concomitant severe PH aged from 2 months to 17 years (median: 4 months). The ratio of pulmonary to systemic pressure (Pp/Ps), the ratio of pulmonary to systemic flow (Qp/Qs), the ratio of pulmonary to systemic resistance (Rp/Rs), and PVR were determined by cardiac catheterization. PVR and Rp/Rs ranged from 1.6 to 15.5 (mean: 5.7 +/- 3.9) Wood unit . m(2) and 0.1 to 0.8 (mean: 0.4 +/- 0.2), respectively. BNP ranged from 5.5 to 69 (mean: 31 +/- 19) pg/ml. Negative correlations were observed between BNP and PVR (r = -0.56, p = 0.004) and BNP and Rp/Rs (r = -0.51, p = 0.01). BNP was significantly lower (<10 pg/ml) in VSD patients with Eisenmenger physiology as compared with the others (p = 0.003). We should draw attention to evaluate BNP values in VSD patients with severe PH.
