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 ...

Circulating concentrations of B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) and the N-terminal fragment (NT) of its prohormone (proBNP) are related to cardiac function and have emerged as clinically useful ...

BNP is similar to atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP), however ANP is not as easily measured. The initial primary use of measuring b-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) is to determine the etiology of ...

The chambers release peptide hormones, including ‘atrial natriuretic peptide’ and ‘brain natriuretic peptide’, which help regulate the balance of fluid in the body by affecting the kidneys.

The left atrial phasic functions and the relationship with plasma N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide levels and symptomatic states in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Home blood ...
