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).

The interpretation of brain natriuretic peptide in critical care patients; will it ever be useful? [PDF]
, 2010 The measurement of B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) is recommended for the diagnosis of decompensated heart failure, the prognosis of chronic heart failure is worse if BNP is increased and studies suggest that BNP is useful to guide therapy.

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

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.

Natriuretic peptide determinations in critical care medicine: part of routine clinical practice or research test only? [PDF]
, 2009 Measurement of N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide has been shown a good rule-out test for cardiac dysfunction in patients in the intensive care unit.

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 ...
