The natriuretic peptides are a group of structurally similar but genetically distinct peptides
that have diverse actions in cardiovascular, renal, and endocrine homeostasis. Atrial …

A hallmark of congestive heart failure (CHF) is the activation of the cardiac endocrine
system, in particular atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) and brain natriuretic peptide (BNP). The …

The natriuretic peptide (NP) system is composed of 3 distinct peptides (atrial natriuretic
peptide or ANP, B-type natriuretic peptide or BNP, and C-type natriuretic peptide or CNP) …

The natriuretic peptide family consists of at least 3 structurally similar peptides: atrial
natriuretic peptide (ANP), brain natriuretic peptide (BNP), and C-type natriuretic peptide …

Cardiac natriuretic peptides are a family of structurally related peptides that are important in
sodium and volume homeostasis. They consist of atrial natriuretic peptide, brain natriuretic …

Since the discovery of atrial natriuretic factor by de Bold et al., there has been tremendous
progress in our understanding of the physiologic, diagnostic and therapeutic roles of the …

The natriuretic peptides–atrial, brain and C-type–were discovered during the last twenty
years. Their effects on cardiovascular, renal, cerebral and other tissues through guanylyl …

Natriuretic peptides, which are activated in heart failure, play an important cardioprotective
role. The most notable of the cardioprotective natriuretic peptides are atrial natriuretic …

BACKGROUND Atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP), brain natriuretic peptide (BNP), and C-type
natriuretic peptide (CNP) are a family of structurally related peptides that participate in the …

The current standard treatment of chronic heart failure (HF) is based on clinical judgment,
with the goal of achieving the maximally tolerated therapeutic program. The complexity of …
