We investigated whether plasma brain and atrial natriuretic peptide (BNP and ANP, respectively) levels could reflect left ventricular (LV) geometry and function in patients with mild to moderate essential hypertension. A positive correlation was found between LV mass index (LVMI) and plasma ANP levels in 84 untreated, hypertensive patients, but not between LVMI and plasma BNP levels. As compared with other geometric patterns, plasma BNP levels were increased in concentric hypertrophy, in which LVMI was increased and LV diastolic function was decreased. These data suggest that production of BNP was increased in hypertensive patients with concentric hypertrophy via LV overload or depression of diastolic function.
