Influence of atrial fibrillation on cardiac brain natriuretic peptide release during haemodynamic stress in heart failure

Influence of atrial fibrillation on cardiac brain natriuretic peptide release during haemodynamic stress in heart failure

Abstract Background: The determinants of release of brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) in heart failure (HF) are incompletely understood, particularly, the effect of heart rhythm and haemodynamic stress. Aims: To investigate the effect of haemodynamic stress on cardiac BNP release in HF and differentia...

Zusammenfassung:Abstract Background: The determinants of release of brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) in heart failure (HF) are incompletely understood, particularly, the effect of heart rhythm and haemodynamic stress. Aims: To investigate the effect of haemodynamic stress on cardiac BNP release in HF and differentiate this response for atrial fibrillation (AF) and sinus rhythm (SR). Methods: In 18 HF patients (ejection fraction
