The Endocrine Function of the Heart: Physiology and Involvements of Natriuretic Peptides and Cyclic Nucleotide Phosphodiesterases in Heart Failure

Besides pumping, the heart participates in hydro-sodium homeostasis and systemic blood pressure regulation through its endocrine function mainly represented by the large family of natriuretic peptides (NPs), including essentially atrial natriuretic (ANP) and brain natriuretic peptides (BNP). Under n...
