Administering atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) to patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) who are undergoing on-pump coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery helps to preserve kidney function ...

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 of ...

Abstract A complementary DNA (cDNA) encoding Bufo marinus (toad) preproatrial natriuretic peptide (preproANP) was isolated by reverse‐transcription polymerase chain reaction. Sequence analysis of toad ...

ANP, BNP, and CNP are proving to be reliable biomarkers for a variety of conditions. Natriuretic peptides mainly consist of atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP), brain natriuretic peptide (BNP), and ...

B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) levels have been shown to be elevated in patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF); however, the underlying mechanisms have not been fully elucidated. Earlier ...

Atrial fibrillation is a common arrhythmia that is hereditary in a small subgroup of patients. In a family with 11 clinically affected members, we mapped an atrial fibrillation locus to chromosome ...

We conducted a prospective study of 1586 patients who came to the emergency department with acute dyspnea and whose B-type natriuretic peptide was measured with a bedside assay. The clinical diagnosis ...
