Open Access Abstract Introduction Serum B-type natriuretic peptide BNP is frequently elevated after subarachnoid hemorrhage SAH but whether this high BNP level is related to transient elevation of left ventricular filling pressure LVFP is unknown. However in patients with preexistent cardiac pathologies it is impossible to differentiate between BNP elevation caused by chronic cardiac abnormalities and BNP related to acute neurocardiac injury. Methods All adult patients with SAH admitted to our intensive care unit were eligible. Patients were excluded for the following reasons admission 48 hours after .
