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.

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 chambers release peptide hormones, including "atrial natriuretic peptide" and "brain natriuretic peptide", which help ...

Integration of pre- and postablation B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) levels in patients with persistent atrial fibrillation (AF) facilitated risk stratification for major adverse cardiovascular ...

Previous studies on the value of brain natriuretic peptide in diastolic dysfunction have been largely limited to male subjects. The authors found that female gender, in addition to diastolic ...
