Background. Brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) is a potent natriuretic factor responsible for hyponatremia observed in patients with SAH. Through its systemic effects (reduction of blood volume and blood pressure) BNP may augment cerebral blood flow reduction and ischemia secondary to vasospasm.The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the relationship between BNP plasma concentration during the first 12 days following SAH and the development of cerebral vasospasm (CVS). The authors propose a hypothesis for the role played by natriuretic peptides in the pathophysiology of cerebral vasospasm based on the present findings and review the literature.Methods. Thirty eight patients with spontaneous SAH were prospectively included in the present study. BNP plasma concentrations were assessed at four different time periods following SAH (day 1-3, 4-6, 7-9, 10-12). TCD evidence of CVS was found in 26 patients (68.5%), fourteen patients (36.8%) had delayed ischemic neurological deficits (DIND).Findings. Initial BNP plasma concentrations were significantly more elevated in patients who eventually did not develop DIND (95.07 +/- 107.65 pg/ml vs. 25.81 +/- 22.57 pg/ml, p = 0.0053). However, in patients with DIND, the BNP plasma concentration increased by 3.69 (p < 0.05), 5.89 (p < 0.001) and 4.54 fold (p < 0.001) between days 1-3 to days 4-6, 7-9 and 10-12 respectively (day I was regarded as the day of hemorrhage). In patients without CVS or asymptomatic CVS the BNP plasma concentration decreased between days 1-3 to day 10-12. A similar trend in BNP plasma concentration was found in patients with severe SAH (Fisher's score 3-4) as compared with patients with non visible or moderate SAH (BNP concentration ratio day 7-9/1-3: 4.37 vs. 0.75, p = 0.015; day 10-12/1-3: 3.37 vs. 0.3, p = 0.0144). The trend in BNP plasma concentration between day 1-3 to day 7-9 was found to correlate with CVS severity with an average increase of 2.01, 3.8 and 5.44 fold for mild, moderate and severe VS respectively (p
