Objective Our purpose was to study the changes in vasoconstrictive neurohormones, N-
terminal proatrial natriuretic peptide (Nt-proANP), and brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) and …

renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system, and stimulates the production of atrial and brain
natriuretic peptides (ANP and BNP). 10 Augmented shortening and increased heart rate …

Plasma neurohormones were sequentially analysed in 98 patients with acute myocardial
infarction randomized to treatment with enalapril or placebo for 4–6 months. Plasma …

Objectives. This study was conducted to evaluate the degree of neurohumoral activation
around the time of hospital discharge after myocardial infarction. Background. Because …

OBJECTIVES The study evaluates the effect of atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) compared
with nitroglycerin (GTN) on left ventricular (LV) remodeling after first anterior acute …

Chronic heart failure is a disabling and lethal disorder with high incidence and prevalence in
Western societies. Treatment with angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors and heart …

Aims To describe the temporal evolution of neurohumoral activation in survivors of
myocardial infarction with left ventricular dysfunction who are initially asymptomatic and to …

Objectives: To clarify the role of infarct and non-infarct sites on left ventricular (LV)
remodelling after myocardial infarction by measuring brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) from …

Objectives: We sought to evaluate the effects of atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) on cardiac
sympathetic nerve activity (CSNA) and left ventricular (LV) remodeling in patients with first …

Objectives. This study attempted to evaluate whether neurohumoral activation at the time of
hospital discharge in postinfarction patients helps to predict long-term prognosis and …
