Heart failure (HF) is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Testing for natriuretic peptide markers, such as B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) or N-terminal proBNP (NT-proBNP), has ...
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.
Atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) was the first natriuretic ... (Braunwald et al.). The reason for the decrease in aldosterone release is twofold. Its release from the adrenal gland is directly ...
NT-proBNP levels linked to AF risk, enhancing prediction models and aiding early detection in clinical practice.
