Atrial septostomy has improved haemodynamics and clinical symptoms in selected patients with idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension. We found that, in 5 patients with idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension, septostomy resulted in decreased levels of brain-type natriuretic peptide, and improvement in symptoms of cardiac failure, suggesting that serial measurements of the peptide may have clinical utility.
房间隔造口术改善了部分特发性肺动脉高压患者的血流动力学和临床症状。我们发现，在5例特发性肺动脉高压患者中，造口术使脑钠肽水平降低，心力衰竭症状改善，这表明对该肽进行连续测量可能具有临床应用价值。
