B-type natriuretic peptide is released by cardiac myocytes in response to wall stretch. There are many hemodynamic effects of BNP which are beneficial in the setting of decompensated congestive ...

Atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) is similar to b-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) in the hemodynamic effects. ANP is not measured clinically unlike BNP. It is released in response to myocyte stretch ...

Background Mechanical stress on the heart is commonly considered the sole stimulus explaining the synthesis and release of circulating natriuretic peptides and their derivatives. While one of the most ...

N-terminal probrain natriuretic peptide and troponin for assessing ... Biologicals and DMARDs, either single drugs or combination therapy, can successfully control inflammation in chronic ...

Brain natriuretic peptide (BNP), first discovered in porcine brain, is principally produced by the heart. Unlike atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP), BNP is largely derived from the ventricles.
