| Summary: | Natriuretic peptides (NPs) are key diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers for patients with heart failure (HF). The main mechanism for increasing serum NP levels, which is characteristic of heart failure, is secretion in response to myocardial wall distention. At the same time, according to Russian and foreign literature, an increase in NPs is reported in a number of many other conditions that are not associated with HF. The study of these causes and mechanisms is necessary to improve the differential diagnosis of HF.This article discusses the mechanisms of increasing NPs and their diagnostic value in heart failure, as well as a number of other conditions, such as acute coronary syndrome and coronary artery disease, atrial fibrillation, exercise, kidney failure, taking cardiotoxic drugs (chemotherapy) and sacubitril/valsartan. The article also provides data on identifying NPs in non-invasively obtained biological fluids (urine and oral fluid). |
