The Role of Natriuretic Peptides in the Management of Heart Failure with a Focus on the Patient with Diabetes.

Natriuretic peptides (NPs) are polypeptide hormones involved in the homeostasis of the cardiovascular system. They are produced by cardiomyocytes and regulate circulating blood volume and sodium concentration. Clinically, measurements of brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) and N-terminal pro-BNP (NT-proBNP) are recommended by international guidelines as evidence is accumulating on their usefulness.
