Abstract:
To study the relationship between plasma atrial natriuretic factor (ANF) levels and hemodynamic measurements, in 18 patients with congenital heart diseases right heart catheterization and radioimmunoassa, were performed. the results showed that the ANF levels in IVC in the patients with Fallot 4 was positively correlated with diastolic pressure of RA. The plasma ANF levels in PA in the patients with patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) was positively correlated with diastolic pressure of RA. Finally, the significance of change of plasma ANF levels in the patients with a variety of cogenital heart diseases and the relationship between plasma ANF levels and hemodynamic was discussed briefly.
