Abstract:
It is reported by current investigations,that BNP can suppress heart hypertrophy but it can also depress compensatory hypertrophic response.BNP is an useful marker in the early diagnosis,prognosis,therapy guiding of heart failure and coronary heart disease,but comorbid conditions should be considered in the diagnosis of heart failure.The polymorphism in the 5'-flanking region of the NPPB gene is found to be related with essential hypertension.On the basis of some investigation,it is supposed that the instillation of BNP at the early stage of hypertension will contribute to therapy of hypertension.
