BACKGROUND The plasma levels of atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) and brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) are increased in relation to the severity of congestive heart failure (CHF). This study was designed to examine whether the secretion patterns of ANP and BNP vary with underlying cardiac disorders of CHF with different degrees of overload in atria and ventricles. RESULTS We measured plasma levels of ANP and BNP in the aorta in 20 patients with mitral stenosis (MS) in whom atria are mainly overloaded, 30 patients with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) in whom both atria and ventricles are overloaded, and 20 control subjects during cardiac catheterization. Pulmonary capillary wedge pressure (PCWP) was significantly higher in the MS and DCM groups (16.7 +/- 4.7 mm Hg and 15.1 +/- 7.7 mm Hg, respectively) than in the control group (7.2 +/- 1.1 mm Hg, p < 0.01), whereas there was no significant difference between the MS and DCM groups. Left ventricular end-diastolic pressure (LVEDP) was significantly higher in the DCM group than in the MS group (16.4 +/- 7.8 mm Hg versus 7.6 +/- 2.0 mm Hg, p < 0.01), and the level was comparable between the MS and control groups (7.6 +/- 2.0 mm Hg versus 6.8 +/- 1.2 mm Hg, p = NS). The plasma ANP level was significantly higher in the MS and DCM groups (356 +/- 169 pg/ml and 331 +/- 323 pg/ml, respectively) than in the control group (98 +/- 41 pg/ml, p < 0.01), whereas there was no significant difference between the MS and DCM groups. The plasma BNP level was significantly higher in the DCM group than in the MS group (333 +/- 405 pg/ml versus 147 +/- 54 pg/ml, p < 0.01), and the level was significantly higher in the MS group than in the control group (147 +/- 54 pg/ml versus < 10 pg/ml, p < 0.01). The plasma levels of ANP and BNP had a highly positive correlation with PCWP in the DCM group (p < 0.01). On the other hand, in the MS group, the plasma ANP level had a highly significant correlation with PCWP (p < 0.01) but the plasma BNP level did not. CONCLUSIONS We conclude that plasma levels of BNP mainly reflect the degree of ventricular overload and that the secretion patterns of ANP and BNP vary with underlying cardiac disorders of CHF with different degrees of overload in atria and ventricles.

D008946 Mitral Valve Stenosis Narrowing of the passage through the MITRAL VALVE due to FIBROSIS, and CALCINOSIS in the leaflets and chordal areas. This elevates the left atrial pressure which, in turn, raises pulmonary venous and capillary pressure leading to bouts of DYSPNEA and TACHYCARDIA during physical exertion. RHEUMATIC FEVER is its primary cause.

D011863 Radioimmunoassay Classic quantitative assay for detection of antigen-antibody reactions using a radioactively labeled substance (radioligand) either directly or indirectly to measure the binding of the unlabeled substance to a specific antibody or other receptor system. Non-immunogenic substances (e.g., haptens) can be measured if coupled to larger carrier proteins (e.g., bovine gamma-globulin or human serum albumin) capable of inducing antibody formation.

D012044 Regression Analysis Procedures for finding the mathematical function which best describes the relationship between a dependent variable and one or more independent variables. In linear regression (see LINEAR MODELS) the relationship is constrained to be a straight line and LEAST-SQUARES ANALYSIS is used to determine the best fit. In logistic regression (see LOGISTIC MODELS) the dependent variable is qualitative rather than continuously variable and LIKELIHOOD FUNCTIONS are used to find the best relationship. In multiple regression, the dependent variable is considered to depend on more than a single independent variable.

D006333 Heart Failure A heterogeneous condition in which the heart is unable to pump out sufficient blood to meet the metabolic need of the body. Heart failure can be caused by structural defects, functional abnormalities (VENTRICULAR DYSFUNCTION), or a sudden overload beyond its capacity. Chronic heart failure is more common than acute heart failure which results from sudden insult to cardiac function, such as MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION.
