Investigation of the BNP level changes in blood stream in different modes and lead locations after pacemaker implementation
As has been proven, increase of mechanical strain could result in an increase of brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) in the blood stream of implanted patient pacemakers. We measured the BNP concentration in blood due to different mode and lead implantation location of pacemaker in the time period of 3 m...
