NT-pro-BNP Level is Related to Left Ventricular Remodeling in Patients With Primary Aldosteronism.

ABSTRACT:

Aims

To assess the relationship between the left ventricular remodeling parameters of cardiac magnetic resonance and NT-pro-BNP in patients with primary aldosteronism (PA).

Methods

Seventy-four PA and 39 essential hypertension patients were prospectively recruited and underwent cardiac magnetic resonance. Plasma NT-pro-BNP was measured before patients underwent cardiac magnetic resonance. Left ventricular remodeling parameters were defined as left ventricular function parameters, T1 mapping parameters, and strain parameters. Differences in continuous variables between two groups were analyzed using Student's t-test or Mann-Whitney U test. Differences in categorical variables between two groups were analyzed by chi-squared test. Spearman's correlation and linear regression we
