2. Atrial natriuretic peptide - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atrial_natriuretic_peptide

   Atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) or atrial natriuretic factor (ANF) is a natriuretic peptide hormone secreted from the cardiac atria that in humans is encoded by the NPPA gene. [ 5 ] Natriuretic peptides (ANP, BNP, and CNP) are a family of hormone/paracrine factors that are structurally related. [ 6 ]

3. Brain natriuretic peptide 32 - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brain_natriuretic_peptide_32

   Contents. Brain natriuretic peptide 32. Brain natriuretic peptide 32 (BNP), also known as B-type natriuretic peptide, is a hormone secreted by cardiomyocytes in the heart ventricles in response to stretching caused by increased ventricular blood volume. [ 5 ] BNP is one of the three natriuretic peptides, in addition to ANP and CNP.

4. Cardiac marker - Wikipedia

   ACB test has low specificity therefore generating high number of false positives and must be used in conjunction with typical acute approaches such as ECG and physical exam. Additional studies are required. Pro-brain natriuretic peptide: This is increased in patients with heart failure. It has been approved as a marker for acute congestive ...

   InterPro. The N-terminal prohormone of brain natriuretic peptide(NT-proBNPor BNPT) is a prohormonewith a 76 amino acid N-terminalinactive protein that is cleaved from the molecule to release brain natriuretic peptide 32(BNP, also known as B-type natriuretic peptide). Both BNP and NT-proBNP levels in the blood are used for screening, diagnosis ...

7. Natriuretic peptide - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natriuretic_peptide

   Natriuretic peptide. Natriuretic peptide-binding receptors and ligand selectivity. [1] A natriuretic peptide is a hormone molecule that plays a crucial role in the regulation of the cardiovascular system. These hormones were first discovered in the 1980s and were found to have very strong diuretic, natriuretic, and vasodilatory effects.

   v. t. e. Reference ranges (reference intervals) for blood tests are sets of values used by a health professional to interpret a set of medical test results from blood samples. Reference ranges for blood tests are studied within the field of clinical chemistry (also known as "clinical biochemistry", "chemical pathology" or "pure blood chemistry ...

9. Baroreflex - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baroreflex

   The baroreflex or baroreceptor reflex is one of the body's homeostatic mechanisms that helps to maintain blood pressure at nearly constant levels. The baroreflex provides a rapid negative feedback loop in which an elevated blood pressure causes the heart rate to decrease. Decreased blood pressure decreases baroreflex activation and causes heart ...
