PG - 530-40 LID - 10.3109/10641963.2012.702831 [doi] AB - Concentration of natriuretic peptides (NPs) in arterial hypertension (AH) patients is higher than that in healthy people. One of the first symptoms of left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) is left ventricular diastolic dysfunction (LVDD). The aim of this study was to examine whether determination of NPs in blood can be a useful indicator of LVDD detection in idiopathic AH patients. The study was conducted on three groups of patients: group Ia, 19 patients (average age 57 +/- 3) with eccentric hypertrophy; group Ib, 13 patients (59 +/- 4) with concentric hypertrophy; group II, 33 patients (58 +/- 4) without AH or LVH. In all groups, mitral inflow profile was evaluated with Doppler test to detect LVDD, blood flow in upper right pulmonary vein, and concentration of atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP), N-terminal ANP (N-ANP), brain natriuretic peptide (BNP), and N-terminal BNP (N-BNP). In group Ia, significant correlations were observed between the following pairs: ratio of maximum early to late mitral inflow and ANP; deceleration time of early mitral inflow speed and ANP; atrial contraction (AR) and ANP; atrial contraction (AR) and N-ANP; similarly, in group Ib, significant correlations were observed between the following: relative wall thickness and BNP; isovolumic relaxation time and BNP; AR and BNP; relative wall thickness and N-BNP; isovolumic relaxation time and N-BNP; AR and N-BNP.
