Atrial natriuretic peptide has dose-dependent, autonomically mediated effects on atrial refractoriness and repolarization in anesthetized dogs. J Cardiovasc Electrophysiol 2005;16:1341-1347 Crossref ...

Atrial natriuretic peptide has vasodilating properties in both arteries and veins which improve the hemodynamics in heart failure states. ANP increases the excretion of sodium and water causing ...

Plasma B-type natriuretic peptide levels and N-terminal pro–atrial natriuretic peptide levels were also associated with an elevated risk of a first major cardiovascular event (an increase of 28 ...

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 ...

B-type natriuretic peptide is released by cardiac myocytes in response to wall stretch. ... BNP is similar to atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP), however ANP is not as easily measured.

Bone growth occurs through the proliferation of specialized cells of the cartilage tissue, known as chondrocytes, on either ...

The researchers were surprised to find that the 11 family members who had atrial fibrillation shared a mutation in the gene that codes for atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP).

The natriuretic peptides are a family of related hormones that play a crucial role in cardiovascular homeostasis. They have recently emerged as potentially important clinical markers in heart failure.

Finally, Dr Ferdinand reports on a phase 1b trial indicating that the atrial natriuretic peptide MANP is equally effective in African American and non-African American patients with resistant ...

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.
