Effects of Percutaneous Transvenous Mitral Commissurotomy on Levels of Plasma Atrial Natriuretic Peptide During Exercise Fuminobu Ishikura, MD, Seiki Nagata, MD, Masashi Akaike, MD, Jun Tamai, MD, and Kunio Miyatake, MD
To clarify the factors that Muenced thesecreuoll of human atrial natriuretk peptide (ANP) during exercise, we studied the relations between the changes in ANP, transmitral pressure gradient, heart rate and blood pressure at exercise in 16 patients wlth mitral stenosis before and after pereutaneeus transvenous mitral commissurotomy (PTMC). Refore PTMC, ANP levels increased from 107 f 70 to 163 f 66 pg/ml during exercise testing (p
