Excerpt

The N-terminal prohormones of the natriuretic peptides ANP and BNP (NTproANP and NTproBNP) are accepted markers of myocardial dysfunction [1] and are increasingly used in critically ill patients. While it is well recognized that plasma levels of ANP are altered by variations in thoracic blood volume and during intravenous sodium loading [2], only incomplete data are available on the course of BNP during these interventions [3]. …
