Abstract
Amplified cardiac B-natriuretic peptide (BNP) expression results from ventricular volume or pressure overload. Clinicians have used BNP levels when evaluating cardiac performance in patients with varied clinical conditions. We report a case in which BNP levels helped guide early catheterization intervention in a patient after stage 1 Norwood palliation.Entities:
