Plasma Atrial Natriuretic Peptide Levels in Chronic Hypoxemic Patients with Pulmonary Hypertension

Plasma atrial natriüretic peptide (ANI)) levels were assayed by radioimmunossay method after ini-munoextraction in ten patients with chronic hypo-xemic pulmonary hypertension, and the relation of AN? to hemodyıtamir findings was evaluated. ANP levels in pallents (117.3±19.9 pg/ml) were higher than in 10 matched controls (79.4±.4. pglınl) (p<0.05). Although the correlatioıı beiween AIVP and mean pulmonary arterial pressure was sta-tistically signıficant (r=0.54; p<0.05) in patients, there was no significant difference between ANI' and right anlat pressure (r=0.24; p>0.05). It was
