Abstract:
Introduction: Echocardiography and the B-type natriuretic peptides (BNPs) provide powerful incremental assessment of cardiac function, clinical status, and outcome across the
spectrum of cardiac disease. Although the previous studies demonstrated the relationships between BNP levels and cardiac structure and function in heart failure patients, but
these relationships in athletes are not well known. The present study was conducted to examine the relationships between BNP levels with cardiac structure and function in
resistance-trained athletes. Material & Methods: Fifteen resistance-trained male athletes
(aged: 23.0 ± 1.4 years and BMI: 24.1 ± 1.4 kg/m2; ± SD) volunteered to participate in this study. BNP concentrations were assessed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay
(ELISA) kits and cardiac morphology and function were assessed by echocardiography. Spearman correlation test was used to analyze the relationship between the variables.
Machine summary:
The present study was conducted to examine the relationships between BNP levels with cardiac structure and function in resistance-trained athletes.
The aim of present study was to examine the relationships between BNP levels with cardiac structure and function in resistance-trained athletes.
BNP level and cardiac structure and function parameters of the subjects {مراجعه شود به فایل جدول الحاقی} BNP: B-type natriuretic peptides; PWTLV: Posterior wall thickness of left ventricle at end diastole; DLVID: diastolic left ventricle internal dimension; SLVID: systolic left ventricle internal dimension; LVEF: left ventricle ejection fraction; LVEDV: left ventricle end-diastolic volume and LVESV: left ventricle end-systolic volume.
4 Cardiac function variables {مراجعه شود به فایل جدول الحاقی} BNP: B-type natriuretic peptides; PWTLV: Posterior wall thickness of left ventricle at end diastole; DLVID: diastolic left ventricle internal dimension; SLVID: systolic left ventricle internal dimension; LVEF: left ventricle ejection fraction; LVEDV: left ventricle end-diastolic volume and LVESV: left ventricle end-systolic volume.
The aim of present study was to examine the relationships between BNP levels with cardiac structure including PWTLV, Interventricular septal, Aorta diameter, Pulmonary artery diameter, DLVID, and SLVID and the relationships between BNP levels with cardiac function including LVEF, LVEDV and LVESV in resistance-trained male athletes.
5. Conclusion The results indicated that BNP levels are in normal range in resistance- trained male athletes, thus BNP concentration is not a powerful predictor for cardiac structure and function in these population.
