Abstract

Abstract: Aim: We analyzed atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP), N ‐terminal pro‐brain natriuretic natriuretic peptide (NT‐proBNP) and vector synthesis high‐resolution electrocardiography (ECG), to estimate cardiac load with circulatory dynamic change from pregnancy through the post‐partum period. Methods: The subjects were singleton pregnant women ( n = 19), who were divided into three stages: stage 1, 34–36 weeks of gestation; stage 2, 2–6 post‐partum days; and stage 3, 1–3 months after delivery. Vector synthesis high‐resolution ECG, ANP and NT‐proBNP were analyzed for all subjects. Results: A pregnant woman with massive uterin liomyoma expressed largest the corrected recover time (RTc) dispersion in I + II of tow Dimensional (2D) color distribution map ANP and NT‐proBNP were significantly higher in stage 2 than in stages 1 and 3. Conclusions: ANP, NT‐proBNP and vector synthesis high‐resolution ECG there might be able to evaluate cardiac load of normal pregnancy.
