Phosphodiesterase 5 inhibition protects against increased intra-abdominal pressure-induced renal dysfunction in experimental congestive heart failure.

abstract：:BNP is a marker of systolic left ventricular dysfunction (LVSD) and heart failure. To assess BNP for the detection of diastolic dysfunction in the general population, we examined 1678 subjects within an age- and sex-stratified survey (MONICA Augsburg). BNP was measured using a commercially available RIA (Shionogi). BN...
