Plasma Brain Natriuretic Peptide Levels Increase in Proportion to the Extent of Right Ventricular Dysfunction in Pulmonary Hypertension

Objectives. This study sought to investigate the influence of right ventricular (RV) hemodynamic variables and function on the secretion of brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) in patients with isolated RV overload. Background. Plasma BNP is known to increase in proportion to the degree of left ventricul...
