摘要
脑钠素 (BNP)是继心钠素 (ANP)后发现的又一个心脏内分泌激素 ,具有强大的利钠、利尿、扩张血管和降低血压的作用。它的血浆浓度和左心室功能密切相关。作者主要综述BNP对心力衰竭或心功能不全的诊断、危险分层。
Brain natriuretic peptide(BNP) emerges as another cardiac hormone after atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP). It plays a prominent role in natriuresis, diuresis, vasorelaxation and decreasing blood pressure. The plasma levels of BNP are closely related to the left ventricular function. In this review, the author highlights the latest progress of BNP in the diagnosis, risk stratification, prognosis and therapeutic monitoring of patients with congestive heart failure and other cardiac dysfunction.
