Retraction Of Publication[Influence of cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) on the natriuretic peptides ANP and BNP. A comparison between long and short duration of CPB and off pump surgery].
Plasma atrial and brain natriuretic peptide (ANP and BNP) are cardiac hormones secreted mainly due to cardiac overload. The study was designed to assess plasma concentrations of ANP and BNP in patients undergoing coronary bypass grafting (CABG) with long and short duration of cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) and without CPB (off-pump surgery). ⋯ CPB influenced BNP, but not ANP plasma concentrations. An influence of the duration of CPB on ANP and BNP was not seen.
