B-type Natriuretic Peptide as an Index of Symptoms and Severity of Chronic Rheumatic Mitral Regurgitation
BACKGROUND: The most common causes of severe mitral regurgitation (MR) in developing countries are rheumatic heart disease. The plasma level of B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) is known to increase with left ventricular (LV) dysfunction. AIM OF THE WORK: To study BNP level as an index of symptoms an...
