Abstract:
Objective To explore the changes of plasma catecholamines(CA)[including epinephrine(E) and norepinephrine(NE)] and atrial natriuretic peptide(ANP) in children with varying degrees of left ventricular ejection function(LVEF) in chronic heart failure(CHF),and establish natriuretic hormone factors as one of the diagnostic criteria of CHF.Methods Thirty-five patients with CHF and 35 children in good health were enrolled,and the concentration of plasma NE,E,ANP and the LVEF were determined.Results 1.The levels of plasma NE,E and ANP in 35 patients with CHF before treatment were significantly higher than those in control group(Pa
