This letter discusses the role of brain natriuretic peptide as a cardiac hormone in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.

Abstract

To the Editor: Brain natriuretic peptide was originally isolated from the mammalian brain1,2 and acts as a cardiac hormone resembling atrial natriuretic peptide3,4. Brain natriuretic peptide is syn...
