    Plasma level of urotensin in heart failure patients

      Graphical Abstract
      • Abstract
    • Objective: To investigate the change of plasma urotensin Ⅱ(UTN) levels in heart failure patients and its clinical significance.Methods: The UTN was measured in the plasma of 30 patients with heart failure(grade Ⅰ-Ⅲ by NYHA) and 19 controls(grade Ⅰ by NYHA),and the results were analyzed statistically.Results: The UTN was elevated in the plasma of heart failure patients(P<0.01) before treatment compared with that of the controls,and it was not related to the age,sex or heart function grade.Conclusions: Plasma UTN is a relatively independent risk factor,which is of use in the diagnosis of heart failure.
