Low Dose Synthetic Human Atrial Natriuretic Peptide Infusion in a Patient With Mitral Stenosis and Severe Pulmonary Hypertension
1999
The present report concerns a case of very low plasma levels of atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) accompanying severe pulmonary hypertension due to mitral stenosis. There was remarkable fibrosis in the atrium and ANP secretion may have been insufficient. Low-dose infusion (0.025μg kg-1 min -1) of synthetic human α-ANP infusion was very effective in improving the pulmonary hypertension. (Jpn Circ J 1999; 63: 816 - 818)
