Abstract:
:Studies in patients with moderate heart failure have shown a positive relation between atrial size and plasma atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP)(99-126) concentrations; however, the relation of the hormone level and left atrial size and left ventricular function in patients with severe chronic heart failure has not been determined. Fifty-three patients from the Cooperative North Scandinavian Enalapril Survival Study with severe chronic heart failure were evaluated with M-mode echocardiography and determination of plasma concentrations of ANP(99-126). In 35 patients, the plasma level of N-terminal ANP(1-98) was also measured. A significant negative relation was found between ANP(1-98), ANP(99-126), and left atrial diameter (r = -.28, P = .05 and r = -.41, P < .005, respectively). Plasma concentrations of both ANP(1-98) and ANP(99-126) were related to left ventricular systolic function as determined by the systolic time interval index (r = .4, P < .05 and r = .29, P < .05, respectively). A significant improvement of left ventricular systolic function was found in the enalapril group but not in the placebo group. After 6 weeks of therapy, no correlation was found between changes in left atrial size or systolic function or changes in either the ANP(1-98) or ANP(99-126) concentration. The results indicate that high ANP(1-98) or ANP(99-126) plasma concentration is determined by the depressed left ventricular function rather than increased left atrial size in patients with chronic severe heart failure. The findings suggest that the ANP release relation to atrial pressure/atrial size is distorted in severe heart failure.
