Supports natriuretic peptide use in heart failure; leaves open expanded research into cardiac endocrinology.

Key Points

To review the identification, physiological mechanisms, and clinical diagnostic and therapeutic utilities of atrial, brain, and C-type natriuretic peptides.
Synthesized two decades of basic and clinical research on the discovery and physiological characterization of the natriuretic peptide family.
Evaluated the diagnostic utility of circulating peptides in heart failure and examined the vascular regulatory properties of tissue-specific peptides.
ANP and BNP function as circulating endocrine hormones, with plasma BNP concentrations mirroring the clinical severity of heart failure substantially more effectively than ANP.
CNP acts as a localized autocrine and paracrine factor derived from vascular endothelial cells and macrophages rather than a systemic hormone, exhibiting antiproliferative activity in vascular tissue.
