Hemodynamic, renal, and hormonal responses to brain natriuretic peptide infusion in patients with congestive heart failure.

Abstract: Background. This study was designed to examine the hemodynamic, renal, and hormonal effects of brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) infusion in patients with congestive heart failure (CHF) and in control subjects.Methods and Results. We infused synthetic human BNP at a rate of 0.1 ug/kg/min. BNP infusion decreased pulmonary capillary wedge pressure (control, from 5±1 to 2±1 mm Hg, p Show more

“…Furthermore, upper airway obstruction is associated with exaggerated negative intrathoracic pressure swings, increased systemic venous return and preload to the right ventricle along with increased left cardiac ventricle after load (23,24). Acute overload of the cardiac ventricles could promote release of brain natriuretic peptide from ventricular myocytes which induces vasodilation and natriuresis (25). Adenotonsillectomy for OSA in childhood is accompanied by reduction of morning brain natriuretic peptide levels in venous blood (26).…”

“…[1][2][3][4][5][6][7] BNP is secreted from the failing heart into the systemic circulation; the plasma level of this peptide is elevated in patients with heart failure. 8 -11 The plasma BNP level has been recognized as a biochemical marker of ventricular dysfunction.…”

“…As the ANF, the brain natriuretic factor seems to play a significant role in the pathophysiology of the CHF, acting as an endogenous vasodilator and diuretic. The clinical improvement observed when it is administered to patients with CHF confirms this hypothesis 109 . Its importance as a prognostic factor was recently demonstrated.…”
