Simplified method using left atrial volume and natriuretic peptides streamlines diagnosis of heart failure with preserved ...

Circulating chimeric atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) was detected in high concentration in subjects with the mutation, and shortened atrial action potentials were seen in an isolated heart model ...

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 ...

June 21, 2004 -- Human atrial natriuretic peptide (h-ANP) infusion is helpful for managing acute ischemic renal failure, according to the results of a randomized trial published in the June issue ...

Similar results were obtained for N-terminal pro–atrial natriuretic peptide. In this community-based sample, plasma natriuretic peptide levels predicted the risk of death and cardiovascular ...

ANP, BNP, and CNP are proving to be reliable biomarkers for a variety of conditions. Natriuretic peptides mainly consist of atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP), brain natriuretic peptide (BNP), and C ...

Atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) stimulates natriuretic peptide receptor-A (NPR-A) and increases intracellular cGMP. We examined the changes in ANP and NPR-A in respiratory epithelium during the ...

To investigate the ultrastructural localization of atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP)-synthesizing cells and the relationship between ANP-synthesizing cells and microvessels in rat gastric mucosa.

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 ...

Natriuretic peptides are secreted from the heart as counter regulatory hormones in response to increased intraventricular and atrial pressure and stretch. Assays to measure natriuretic peptide ...

BNP and a closely related peptide (called NT-proBNP for short) go by a few different names. These include: B-type natriuretic peptide Brain natriuretic peptide NT-pro b-type natriuretic peptide N ...
