Abstract:
Brain natriuretic peptide (BNP)is synthesized and secreted chiefly from heart. It is a cardiac neurohormone specifically secreted from the ventricles in response to volume expansion and pressure overload. BNP is also a plasma marker for diagnosis, therapy and prognosis in patients with heart failure.
