Brain natriuretic peptide as a marker of cardiac involvement in hypertension.

Abstract:

:Hypertensive patients with heart abnormalities have increased risk of cardiovascular events. Brain natriuretic peptide is a natriuretic peptide mainly of ventricular origin produced in response to pressure and stretch. We hypothesise that brain natriuretic peptide could be a useful marker of cardiac remodelling in hypertensive patients. We studied 36 consecutive community mild-to-moderate hypertensive patients and 11 well-matched normotensive controls with respect to clinical characteristics, brain natriuretic peptide, creatinine and echocardiography parameters (M-mode, 2-D arid transmitral pulsed Doppler). Brain natriuretic peptide levels were significantly higher in hypertensive patients than in controls [36.54 (IQR: 38.61) vs. 10.30 (IQR: 13.20) pg ml(-1), p<0.0001] and it was correlated with left ventricular mass index. Hypertensive patients with impairment of diastolic filling had significantly higher brain natriuretic peptide concentrations than patients with no abnormalities on echocardiography [61.16 (45.38) vs. 31.27 (18.10) pg ml(-1), p=0.001]. Multivariate analysis showed that only diastolic dysfunction and left ventricular mass index were significantly and independently related with brain natriuretic peptide concentrations in this population. In conclusion, impairment of diastolic function and left ventricular mass index are related to brain natriuretic peptide levels, thus giving the insight that this peptide can be a marker of ventricular remodelling in hypertensive patients.
