Role of Cardiac Natriuretic Peptides in Heart Structure and Function

Role of Cardiac Natriuretic Peptides in Heart Structure and Function

Cardiac natriuretic peptides (NPs), atrial NP (ANP) and B-type NP (BNP) are true hormones produced and released by cardiomyocytes, exerting several systemic effects. Together with C-type NP (CNP), mainly expressed by endothelial cells, they also exert several paracrine and autocrine activities on th...
