Background and Purpose—A precise definition of genetic factors responsible for common
forms of stroke is still lacking. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the …

Background—Recent evidence from an animal model of stroke, the stroke-prone
spontaneously hypertensive rat, implicated the gene encoding atrial natriuretic peptide …

We analyzed the phenotype associated with the atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) genetic
variant rs5065 in a random community-based sample. We also assessed and compared the …

Background—Cardiomyocytes secrete atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) and B-type natriuretic
peptide (BNP) in response to mechanical stretching, making them useful clinical biomarkers …

Atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) plays an important role in the regulation of blood pressure
through sodium–water homoeostasis. Accordingly, several investigators have raised the …

ANP (atrial natriuretic peptide), discovered 30 years ago in rat cardiac atria, has been
extensively investigated with regard to physiology, pathophysiology, cardiovascular disease …

Abstract Background and Purpose: Natriuretic peptides predict poor outcomes in
cardiovascular disease. However, the knowledge of their relationship to stroke is limited and …

Background There is growing evidence from recent studies that atrial natriuretic peptide
(ANP) plays an important part in coronary blood flow regulation and in atherosclerosis …

抄録 Variants of atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) are reported to be more common in blacks
with hypertension than in normotensive controls and constitute an independent risk factor for …

Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of rs5065 atrial natriuretic
peptide (ANP) gene variant on coronary artery disease (CAD) and its outcomes and to gain …
