[Cardiac natriuretic peptides in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy].

Aim: To study interrelation of main clinico-hemodynamic parameters and levels of natriuretic peptides (NUP) in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCMP).

Material And Methods: We measured concentrations of N-terminal fragments of precursors of plasma brain and atrial natriuretic peptides (NT-proBNP and NT-proANP) and conducted complex echocardiographical examination in 94 patients (mean age 42.3 +/- 133.
