B-Type Natriuretic Peptide and the Right Heart
Heart Failure Reviews, 2004B-type natriuretic Peptide (BNP) is elevated in conditions with ventricular volume and pressure overload. The physiological, diagnostic and therapeutic role of BNP in right ventricular (RV) dysfunction and pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) are reviewed in this article.

Expression of B-type natriuretic peptide in atrial natriuretic peptide gene disrupted mice
Molecular and Cellular Biochemistry, 2001Atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) and B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) are two hormones produced and secreted by the heart to control blood pressure, body fluid homeostasis and electrolyte balance. Each peptide binds to a common family of 3 receptors (GC-A, GC-B and C-receptor) with varying degrees of affinity.

Utility of B-Type Natriuretic Peptides in Preeclampsia
Obstetric Anesthesia Digest, 2013Preeclampsia and its complications may be associated with elevated B-type natriuretic peptide levels during and after pregnancy.We conducted a systematic review to determine whether preeclampsia and/or related cardiovascular complications, eclampsia and preterm delivery are associated with elevated natriuretic peptide levels.

Abstract Background: B‐type natriuretic peptide (BNP) and the N‐terminal fragment of proBNP (NT‐proBNP) seem to be useful diagnostic tools also in children with cardiac disease. Recent data suggest that plasma levels of both peptides show different patterns from infancy to adolescence.

B-type natriuretic peptide is a neurohormone synthesized in the cardiac ventricles upon ventricular pressure overload and ventricular dilatation. This peptide with many favourable physiological properties has emerged as important candidate for development of diagnosis and prognostic tools and therapeutic agents in cardiovascular disease.Literature ...

Natriuretic Peptides in Heart Failure: Atrial and B-type Natriuretic Peptides.
Heart failure clinics, 2018The natriuretic peptides play a vital role in normal physiology and as counter-regulatory hormones in heart failure (HF). Clinical assessment of their levels (for B-type natriuretic peptide [BNP], N-terminal proBNP, and the midregion of N-terminal pro-atrial natriuretic peptide) have become valuable tools in diagnosing patients with HF as well as risk ...

SUMMARY1. If one was to design a hormone to protect the heart, it would have a number of features shown by the cardiac natriuretic peptides atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) and B‐type natriuretic peptide (BNP). These hormones are made in cardiomyocytes and are released into the circulation in response to atrial and ventricular stretch, respectively ...

B-type natriuretic peptide in lymphedema.
Lymphology, 2011Lymphedema often responds to compression therapy which can also cause undesirable cardiac overload if heart failure coexists. We hypothesized that the biomarker B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) can be used to screen lymphedema patients for undetected cardiac dysfunction.
