Increased atrial and brain natriuretic peptides in adults with cyanotic congenital heart disease : Enhanced understanding of the relationship between hypoxia and natriuretic peptide secretion

Brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) levels are used in the evaluation of patients with heart disease, yet there is little understanding of the effect of hypoxia on natriuretic peptide secretion. Furthermore, recent data suggest that oxytocin may mediate stretch-induced atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) s...
