Abstract:
Objective To determine the change and effect of milrinone on the concentration of plasma endothelin(ET)and atrial natriuretic peptide(ANP)in congestive heare failure(CHF)infants.Methods Forty-one CHF infants' plasma ET and ANP concentration were determined before and after having received milrinone intravenously,meanwhile compared with that of 40 healthy infants as control.Results The concentration of plasma ET and ANP in CHF infants were obviously increased,which has greatly decreased after intravenous dripping of milrinone.The difference has statistic significance.Conclusion The concentration of plasma ET and ANP in CHF infants are greatly increased and could be lowered by treating with milrinone.
