AB  - Immunoreactive atrial natriuretic peptide (irANP) has been measured in 24 
      patients of various cardiac diseases by radioimmunoassay. According to the TCM, 
      these patients were divided into 4 groups: cardiac energy deficiency mild (A) and 
      severe (B) groups; simple cardiac deficiency (C); and the control (D). The New 
      York Heart Association (NYHA) classification of cardiac function in 5 cases of 
      group A were all degree IV; in 6 cases of group B were 2 of degree IV and 4 of 
      degree III; in 6 cases of group C were 1 of degree III, 3 of degree II and 2 of 
      degree I; and in 6 cases of group D were all degree I. The results of chest X-ray 
      and echocardiogram suggested that the classification of cardiac function was 
      objective. The quantity of irANP in group A-D and NYHA IV-I decreased gradually 
      and was correlated with left ventricular ejection fraction (r = -0.87, P less 
      than 0.01). The average amounts of irANP in the different TCM groups A-D were at 
      the equivalent levels in the groups NYHA IV-I. Meanwhile it was found that the 
      cardiac energy deficiency patients had abnormality in some parameters of 
      hemorrheology, but no correlation with irANP. It suggested that the diagnosis of 
      cardiac deficiency by TCM was correlated with the different degree of NYHA in the 
      sense of biochemical index of irANP. The irANP might be considered as one of the 
      objective signs of the cardiac energy deficiency, which also might represent the 
      severity of the disease.
