Objective: To evaluate B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) and N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NTproBNP) and cardiac structure and function in normal women through pregnancy and the postpartum. Methods: In this prospective observational study, we obtained serial transthoracic echocardiograms, BNP, and NT-proBNP at seven intervals from 6 weeks' gestation through 12 months postpartum. Women with hypertension or cardiac disease were excluded. Using 6-12 months postpartum as reference for non-pregnant levels, echocardiogram measurements and BNP/NT-proBNP were compared over time using linear mixed models with Tukey- Kramer adjustment for multiple comparisons. Results: Of 116 patients, data was available for 78- 114 healthy pregnant or postpartum women within each time interval, and 102 patients provided data for ≥ 4 intervals. Compared to 6-12 months postpartum, BNP and NTproBNP remained stable through pregnancy and delivery, increased within 48 h postpartum (P < 0.0001), then returned to baseline. Left ventricular volume increased within 48 h postpartum (P = 0.021) while left atrial volume increased at 18-24 weeks (P = 0.0002), 30-36 weeks (P < 0.0001) and within 48 h postpartum (P = 0.002). The transmitral early/late diastolic velocity (E/A) ratio, transmitral early/peak mitral annulus diastolic velocity (E/E') ratio, isovolumic relaxation times, and mitral valve deceleration times were similar within 48 h and 6-12 months postpartum. Conclusion: In normal women, BNP/NT-proBNP, left atrial, and left ventricular volumes increase within 48 h postpartum without indications of altered diastolic function. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
