Infarct size is a major determinant of high N-BNP levels
November 6th, 2004
The extent of myocardial damage assessed by contrast-enhanced MRI is a major determinant of N-BNP concentration after myocardial infarction. In a recent study, researchers in France sought to evaluate "the relationship between N-terminal Pro-Brain Natriuretic Peptide (N-BNP) level and contrast-enhanced MRI in patients after acute myocardial infarction." A. Cochet and colleagues of the CHU in Dijon described their research, "Eighty-two patients were studied. Venous blood samples were obtained 3 days after MI and MRI was performed from 2 to 7 days after MI, with determination of left ventricular function and acquisition of perfusion data after...
