Supports myocardial protective roles of natriuretic peptides; hypothesis-generating for targeted therapies in cardiomyopathy.
The natriuretic peptide system possesses anti-fibrotic, anti-hypertrophic, and cytoprotective properties beyond its role in volume and pressure homeostasis.
Gabriel Wai‐Kwok Yip (2008) reported a review. B-type natriuretic peptide was evaluated. Natriuretic peptides, including B-type natriuretic peptide, possess anti-fibrotic, anti-hypertrophic, anti-inflammatory, and cytoprotective properties on the myocardium.
