Abstract
We studied plasma levels of atrial and brain natriuretic peptides at rest and after exercise before and after intracardiac surgery with and without the maze procedure in patients with chronic heart failure secondary to valvular heart disease. The present study found that an increased response of both cardiac natriuretic peptides is attenuated with resulting water retention after the maze procedure.
