The relation between intraocular pressure change and plasma natriuretic peptide under simulated hypobaric conditions

The relation between intraocular pressure change and plasma natriuretic peptide under simulated hypobaric conditions

<b>Purpose:</b> To ascertain whether the changes in intraocular pressure (IOP) that occur during hypobaric hypoxic exposure are related to plasma N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) levels.<b> Materials and Methods:</b> The study group comprised 26 healthy parti...
