摘要
A-Type and B-type natriuretic peptides are cardiac hormones whose circulating levels reflect the severity of heart failure. It is not known how plasma levels of these hormones respond to changes in cardiac function that occur as a result of treatment with angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors.
