Physiological and Pathophysiological Effects of C-Type Natriuretic Peptide on the Heart

Biology, 2022
C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP) is the third member of the natriuretic peptide family. Unlike other members, i.e., atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) and brain natriuretic peptide (BNP), which are cardiac hormones secreted from the atrium and ventricle of

B-Type Natriuretic Peptide: Beyond a Diagnostic [PDF]

Heart Failure Clinics, 2008
The concept of the heart as an endocrine organ has been attractive since the discovery of atrial natriuretic peptide. This review focuses on the second discovered natriuretic peptide from the heart - B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP), widely used as a tool in the diagnosis of heart failure (HF).

B-type natriuretic peptide predicts long-term prognosis in a cohort of critically Ill patients

Heart International, 2011
B-type natriuretic peptide is an important prognostic marker in heart failure. However, there are limited data for its value in non-cardiac intensive care unit patients, namely regarding long-term prognosis. We investigated the long-term prognostic value

Factors influencing left ventricular ejection fraction in patients with coronary microvascular disease and obstructive coronary artery disease

BMC Research Notes, 2020
Objective The aim of our research was to evaluate the relationship involving left ventricular ejection fraction, low density lipoprotein, B-type natriuretic peptide, Troponin I and coronary flow reserve, and to determine the predictors of left ...

Atrial secretion of B-type natriuretic peptide [PDF]

European Heart Journal, 2006
In the normal heart, the endocrine capacity resides in the atria. Atrial myocytes express and secrete natriuretic hormones that regulate fluid homeostasis and blood pressure. But in ventricular disease, atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) and B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) gene expression is also activated in ventricular myocytes.

Analysis of the B-Type Natriuretic Peptide and the Aminoterminal-Pro-B-Type Natriuretic Peptide in Different Parrot, Raptor and Owl Species

Veterinary Sciences, 2022
The B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP), a member of the natriuretic peptide family and a cardiac hormone, is produced mainly in the ventricular myocytes and released into the circulation due to mechanical stimuli during an increasing cardiac wall stretch ...

B‐Type Natriuretic Peptide: Application in the Community [PDF]

Congestive Heart Failure, 2008
Natriuretic peptide assessment has represented a significant advance in the management of heart failure. In a syndrome in which clinical symptoms and signs can be either nonspecific or absent, the presence of a reliable biomarker to aid diagnosis, assess prognosis, and potentially guide treatment and aid in prevention of this syndrome has represented ...

Natriuretic peptides: Diagnostic and therapeutic use

Indian Journal of Endocrinology and Metabolism, 2011
Natriuretic peptides (NPs) are hormones which are mainly secreted from heart and have important natriuretic and kaliuretic properties. There are four different groups NPs identified till date [atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP), B-type natriuretic peptide (

The Usefulness of Admission Plasma NT-pro BNP Level to Predict Left Ventricular Aneurysm Formation after Acute ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction [PDF]

Arquivos Brasileiros de Cardiologia, 2019
Background: Left ventricular aneurysm (LVA) is an important complication of acute myocardial infarction. In this study, we investigated the role of N- Terminal pro B type natriuretic peptide level to predict the LVA development after acute ST-segment ...

The Effects of Exercise on Natriuretic Peptides in Individuals without Heart Failure

Sports, 2016
Cardiac natriuretic peptides (NPs) play an important role in the regulation of energy expenditure in skeletal muscle and adipose tissue. A systematic review on the effects of exercise on NPs in patients with heart failure reported that aerobic and ...
