Radionuclide evaluation of relationship between the left ventricle pefusion and function and the serum level of brain natriuretic peptide in cases of coronary artery disease
Keywords:
BNP, coronary artery disease, perfusion scyntygraphy, radionuclide ventryculography, left ventricle perfusion and functionAbstract
The impairment of myocardial contractility is the consequence of the coronary artery disease (CAD). It is connected with the increase of serum natriuretic peptides of which the most important is brain natri-uretic peptide (BNP). The question if the impairment of left ventricle perfusion without coexisting func-tional disorder influences the rise of the BNP serum level is still not explained. Material and methods: The study was carried out in 133 patients with diagnosed CAD and in 18 healthy volunteers. Conducted research included radionuclide ventriculography, perfusion scyntigraphy of the heart muscle and the measurement of plasma BNP level. Results: BNP concentration was significantly higher in patients with CAD than in controls. In patients with CAD and the left ventricle ejection fraction (LVEF) lower than 50% BNP concentration was significantly higher than in patients with LVEF .2 50%. In groups with im-paired systolic/diastolic dynamics the BNP level was distinctly higher comparing to the group with nor-mal myocardial contractility, but these differences were not statistically significant. There was no sub-stantial dependence found between the extent of the ischaemia. Results: The impairment of left ventricle function caused by CAD induced plasma BNP level elevation proportional to the degree of the disorder whereas the myocardial perfusion disturbances without the functional consequences did not influence the BNP plasma concentration.
