Usefulness of Exercise-Induced Changes in Plasma Levels of Brain Natriuretic Peptide in Predicting Right Ventricular Contractile Reserve After Repair of Tetralogy of Fallot

Elevated levels of brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) have been associated with ventricular dysfunction, and exercise tests have been used for assessing cardiac contractile reserve. We examined the relation between BNP and right ventricular (RV) contractile reserve during exercise in patients after rep...
