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 ...

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 ...

This study examines the effect of volume overload, atrial heart rate and critical illness on ANP levels in children. ANP levels were measured in 7 children undergoing dialysis(D), 4 children ...

Two parallel, single-blind trials were conducted at 65 hospitals in Japan to assess the effects of atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) and of nicorandil on infarct size among patients with AMI ...

BNP was originally identified in porcine brain. Soon after its discovery, BNP was detected in cardiomyocytes, and the ventricular myocardium was soon recognized as the major source of circulating BNP.
