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 ...

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.

Abstract and Introduction Review of the Literature Limitations Conclusions References ANP and BNP levels were also measured in seven patients one month after AVR. Overall, they found no ...

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 ...
