The role of Nitric oxide and Natriuretic peptide in Heart Failure

Abstract

During this article, natriuretic peptides, which are triggered in heart failure, are also mentioned along with its critical role in cardioprotection. Atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP), brain natriuretic peptide (BNP), which are highly expressed and released in the atrium and ventricles, respectively, and C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP), which is primarily expressed in the vasculature, central nervous systems, and bone, are the most significant of the cardioprotective natriuretic peptides. Their antagonistic effects against angiotensin II through diuretic/natriuretic activities, vasodilatory actions, and suppression of aldosterone secretion, have been studied and applied for heart failure therapy
