BNP is a
cardiac hormone with diuretic, natriuretic, and vaso-dilatory properties produced by the heart ventricles in response to volume expansion and pressure load.
BNP is a
cardiac hormone secreted by cardiomyocytes into the circulation in response to states of volume expansion and pressure overload, as is the case in heart failure.
