Association of brain natriuretic peptide and adrenomedullin plasma levels with left ventricular filling pressures in end-stage renal disease patients on hemodialysis.

CONCLUSIONS: ADM, but not BNP, was independently associated with septal E/e' in HD patients with preserved LVEF. ADM plasma levels can be used as a surrogate index to assess left ventricular filling pressures in HD patients. PMID: 30536342 [PubMed - in process]
