Abstract
Early after acute myocardial infarction, the relation between plasma B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) and extent of myocardial scar formation and diastolic dysfunction remains unclear. In 32 consecutive patients early (5 +/- 3 days) after a first acute myocardial infarction, delayed contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance (MR) imaging was performed to define myocardial scar. Diastolic function was assessed using phase-contrast MR measurements of mitral flow and septal tissue velocities (tissue MR imaging) to estimate left ventricular (LV) filling pressures. MR study was immediately followed by BNP measurement. BNP related to LV ejection fraction (r = -0.52, p = 0.002), extent of myocardial scar (percent delayed hyperenhancement of LV mass, r = 0.49, p = 0.005; transmural index, r = 0.58, p <0.001), and estimated LV filling pressures (ratio of early diastolic mitral flow velocity to early diastolic mitral annular velocity, r = 0.51, p = 0.003). In multivariate analysis, transmural index and early diastolic mitral flow velocity/early diastolic mitral annular velocity were independent predictors of BNP levels (p <0.05, power of 0.99 at alpha = 0.05). In conclusion, among patients with recent myocardial infarction, high BNP levels are...Continue Reading
