Significance of Serum Atrial and Brain Natriuretic Peptide Release After Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting

Abstract: The BNP concentration after CABG was found to be corrected with interim clinical status after surgery. Thus, it may be necessary for patients with a high postoperative BNP concentration to be closely monitored for coronary events.

“…The increase of plasma BNP was correlated to the preoperative BNP value in our patients and in other studies [21,23]. The reported mean peak values of plasma BNP after coronary bypass grafting vary from 100 to 1265 pg/ml without differences regarding the time of extracorporal circulation or aortic cross-clamping [21,24 -26].…”

“…However, the mechanism of the elevated postoperative BNP and NT‐proBNP concentrations remains unclear. Plasma BNP concentration was found to increase remarkably in graft failure and heart failure after CABG surgery [7]. BNP level also was associated with endothelin‐1 concentration in failing human hearts [20].…”

“…The B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) is a neurohormone mainly secreted from cardiac ventricles by increasing ventricular wall stress and volume expansion [6]. There are several previous studies that demonstrated that serum BNP concentration significantly increased after CABG surgery and was associated with increasing postoperative mortality and cardiac events [7,8]. Furthermore, ProBNP, a serum protein comprising 108 amino acids, can be cleaved into physiologically active BNP and biologically inactive Nterminal proBNP (NT-proBNP), whose plasma concentration reflects the activity of de novo synthesis and may have even greater specificity to cardiac activity than BNP [9].…”

“…A preoperative BNP level >385 pg/mL is consistent with an increased risk of morbidity and mortality immediately after surgery and at 1 year [19]. Corroborative studies have demonstrated that perioperative elevations in BNP are a strong predictor of postoperative atrial fibrillation, pleural effusions, and increased 2-year mortality risk [20][21][22]. An additional study has also demonstrated the efficacy of BNP as a postoperative surrogate of success with surgical ventricular restoration.…”
