Plasma N-terminal Proatrial Natriuretic Peptide Concentration in Cats with Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy

Objective: We sought to determine N-terminal proatrial natriuretic peptide concentrations [Nt-proANP] in plasma from cats with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). Secondarily, we wished to evaluate the relationship between [Nt-proANP] and echocardiographic variables. Methods: Venous blood samples w...
