脑利钠肽(BNP)是一种心脏激素,可能是左室肥厚(LVH)的标记,因为肥厚型心肌病患者血浆BNP浓度升高。作者用放免法测定未经治疗的高血压29例(平均血压22.4/13.5kPa)以及年龄性别配对的血压正常的健康者25例(对照组)的血浆BNP浓度。
Brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) is a cardiac hormone that may be a marker of left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) as patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy have elevated plasma BNP levels. The authors used radioimmunoassay in 29 patients with untreated hypertension (mean blood pressure 22.4 / 13.5kPa), as well as age and gender matched normal blood pressure in 25 patients (control group) plasma BNP levels.
